Galatians: 1. Good News for Divided Times

Columbia View Podcast

The early church had to navigate what it looked like for Gentiles (Greeks) to be incorporated into the new family of faith with Israel (Jews) in light of Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension.Their big questions.... What about our food laws? circumcision? our special festivals? Are these necessary to be in the family of faith?Similarly, as our country moves towards November's election (and tbh, pick your hot button cultural issue as of late) we invite you to ground yourself in the book of Galatians which invites followers of Jesus to live as a united family of faith under the primary identity marker of Jesus and His way of love.But what does that look like? How does that tangibly impact how I talk to my neighbor who thinks and lives and votes very differently than I do?Well... that's what we'll be exploring over the course of the next 12 or so weeks.Recommended resources:https://bibleproject.com/explore/video/galatians/
