Galatians
Those Who Hinder Us
Those Who Hinder Us from Being Persuaded by the Truth (Galatians 5:7–15).
The persuasion to live under law is not from the One who called us (Galatians 5:7–8).
A little leaven leavens the whole lump (Galatians 5:9).
Leaven is used as a negative influence on a group.
Jesus warned the disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees (Matthew 16:6)
Jesus is speaking concerning the doctrine of the religious leaders (Matthew 16:12).
This doctrine in hypocritical (Luke 12:1).
Sin within an assembly will also have a negative effect (1 Corinthians 5:1–8).
We are to have no other frame of mind than the truth (Galatians 5:10).
Those who seek to persuade us from the truth will face their own judgment (Galatians 5:10).
If Paul taught circumcision, why was he being persecuted by the Jews? (Galatians 5:11).
Circumcision removes the scandal of the cross (Galatians 5:11).
The leaders of Israel, scandalously crucified Christ (Acts 2:22–23).
Three days later, God raised Him from the dead (Acts 2:24).
The preaching of Christ crucified is a scandal to the Jews (1 Corinthians 1:23).
Paul expresses his desire for those who teach circumcision (Galatians 5:12).
Join us in person at 811 W. Main Street in Monroe, WA 98272.
If you are unable to join in person, we will have a live broadcast of our main service at 11:00 AM.
And let us consider one another in stirring up love and proper works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves, just as is the habit of some, but encouraging, and so much more as we see the day approaching (Hebrews chapter 10:24–25).
In a world that often pulls us toward isolation, coming together face-to-face provides encouragement, clarity, and spiritual strength. At Word of Grace Studies, we gather because we value the opportunity to build up one another in truth, to stir up love and proper works, and to grow together in the faith. Whether you can come and fellowship with us or at a local assembly in your area, do not forsake the assembling of the saints, your presence matters—for your benefit and for the encouragement of others.
You’re always welcome to join us and experience the encouragement and connection that come from gathering together.
