At Rockaway Community Church on Sunday November 16th, 2025

With Sean McRae, Reading from the book of Galatians.

Chapter 1: The Amazing Word of God and Introduction to Galatians

0:00 - 7:00

We begin with reflections on the power of Scripture reading and introduce the book of Galatians, explaining the approach of providing an overview before detailed exposition.

Chapter 2: Understanding Legalism and the Gospel

7:00 - 15:00

We explore what legalism is and why it matters, understanding that it attempts to add human works to Christ's finished work, thereby corrupting the gospel.

Chapter 3: The Author and Recipients: Paul and the Galatian Churches

15:00 - 24:00

We examine who wrote Galatians and to whom, exploring Paul's background as a former persecutor turned apostle and discussing the identity and location of the Galatian churches.

Chapter 4: The Structure and Message of Galatians

24:00 - 35:00

We outline the structure of Galatians, noting how Paul immediately presents the gospel in his opening and defends both his message and his apostleship throughout the letter.

Chapter 5: The Continuing Relevance of Galatians

35:00 - 42:00

We conclude by recognizing that while the specific issue was circumcision, the problem of legalism persists today, and Galatians provides essential correction for the church.
