Galatians 4:19

Every spiritual leader—whether a pastor or mentor holds a sacred title: "The Friend of the Bridegroom." Drawing from the life of John the Baptist and the writings of Paul, this 3-day plan explores the heart of the "Divine Matchmaker." You will discover that true ministry is not about gathering a crowd for yourself, but about facilitating a love story between the believer (the Bride) and Jesus (the Bridegroom). Learn how to find joy in "decreasing" so that Christ may increase, and understand the profound reward that comes to those who prioritize the Groom’s intimacy over their own influence.

Jesus Christ has a right to be God’s heir and to receive the inheritance. We do not. We enjoy this wonderful prospect and promise only by God’s grace. It is only because He has brought us into His family that we are joint-heirs with Christ.

This plan will explore what the letter of Galatians teaches us in four major areas. 1) WHO GOD IS: God’s character and nature 2) WHO WE ARE: the identity of humanity and/or believers 3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines 4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action

Are you caught up in doing good deeds, but missing the gospel of faith? Are you feeling discouraged by faith based in works? Paul addresses this exact issue in Galatians and explores the foundational truth of the freedom of faith in Jesus Christ. Galatians offers a celebration of the freedom of grace and re-centers your focus on the law of love in God in three parts: the gospel of grace defined, the gospel of grace examined and the gospel of grace applied.
