Galatians 3:15-18 Summary // Step back into the book of Genesis; see Yahweh make unconditional promises to Abraham and his seed, the Messiah. Anyone who is saved is saved because Yahweh keeps His promise, and not because you keep His law.

Galatians 3:17-18 // When Yahweh made the promises to Abraham (back in Genesis 12-15) there were no "ifs." The promises were unilateral and unconditional. Be thankful, because if they were conditional, no one would be saved.

Galatians 3:15-16 // There was a promise made to Abraham and to his seed. Who is this seed? Paul explains by using a human illustration.

What text was Paul quoting from in Ephesians 4:8? And how does this relate the the spiritual office gifts given by the Messiah to the assembly?

Part 6, and the final lesson in the "From Passover to Easter" series. This lesson gives an overview of the big picture we've been looking at for 6 weeks, and ends with looking at the historical information on the origin of Easter Sunday inside of Christianity.

Part 5 in the "From Passover to Easter" series. This lesson discusses some key points in Acts 20:7-12 that lead in the direction of recognizing this first day gathering as being out of the ordinary, rather than a habitual model for a church service.

Is there anything about or resembling Easter Sunday in scripture? This lesson takes a look at a text that is commonly used to promote a regular, re-occurring first day of the week church service.

The only way we are ever going to obtain unity in the body of Saints is by obeying the exhortation Apostle Paul gives us: humble yourselves and be patient. There is one faith and one hope. We are to make every effort to be at oneness in the congregation.

Part 2 in the "From Passover to Easter" series. This lesson covers the King James Bible translators, the Greek word pascha, a common King James Only interpretation of Acts 12:4, and the etymology of Easter.

Christians around the world today celebrate Easter Sunday. Did Christians in the first century A.D. do this? And what about the spring feast called Passover? Is Easter a mistranslation in Acts 12:4? These questions and more will be answered in this series of sermons centered around the Passover.

Ephesians 1-3 has taught us our position in the Messiah. We are blessed with the biggest blessing one could ever imagine, by being in the Son. In Ephesians 4 Paul begins to explain how we ought to live in light of our position, and it begins with humility, gentleness, and love for the saints.

If we want to be like the Messiah, we will deal with people gently, even difficult people.

Galatians 3:13-14 // Both Judahite and Gentile fall under the curse of the law. How is this curse lifted off of us? How is the penalty for disobedience taken care of? By Yahweh in Yeshua, that's how.

Galatians 3:11-12 // There are men of faith and there are men of works. This does not mean that the men of faith do not produce works. There is such a thing as works which aren't based upon faith. It is this that the Apostle Paul condemns.

We do not realize just how much love Yahweh has for us. He truly is able to do - through us - above and beyond all that we could ask or think.

Galatians 3:9-10 // I continue to develop a contextual understanding of verse 10 by showing that Yahweh says the law is not too difficult to keep, and the example of King Hezekiah becoming terminally ill. While that may not seem like it fits into Galatians 3:10, listen to learn how it does.

Galatians 3:10 // Why are those who are "of the works of the law" under the curse of the law? I thought being "of the works of the law" meant you were a lawful person? Listen to learn of what Yahweh requires, and how looking like you are righteous doesn't mean you are righteous.

Galatians 3:10 // How does being "of the works of the law" place one under a curse?

If we desire to be a spiritual person then we must do spiritual things. First on the list is pray and believe. We must ask Yahweh to give us strength to know the Messiah's love.

Galatians 3:8-9 // Paul says that the gospel was preached to Abraham. How? Did Abraham know everything we know today about the gospel?

Galatians 3:6-7 // Paul uses an argument from Genesis 15 to bolster the authenticity of the salvation of the Gentiles. He in turn wants his readers to see that those who carry the characteristic of faith are the true sons of Abraham.

Galatians 3:6-9 Intro // In the midst of his arguing for the Galatians salvation - apart from becoming Judahites - Paul brings up the great Patriarch Abraham. Why?

Who were the rulers and authorities in the heavens that the mystery of the Gentiles was made known to? 

Galatians 3:4-5 // The Gentiles had been suffering persecution for believing in Yeshua. They had also had mighty miracles done among them through the hands of the Apostles. How was this accomplished? Did they get circumcised and then experience persecution? Or, did the persecution come apart from the works of the law?
