A New Creation

March 4, 2026

Galatians 6:11-18

Paul closes his letter to the Galatians with a bold reminder that our confidence rests not in outward rituals or human approval, but in the cross of Christ and the transforming work He has done in us. In a world that pulls us toward performance, comparison and division, Paul calls us back to the simple, powerful truth: what counts is the new creation God has made us to be. As those who belong to Jesus, we walk by faith, pursue unity and endure hardship with grace.  Where am I tempted to rely on outward actions or others’ approval instead of the finished work of Christ?  How is the “new creation” God has made me becoming more visible in my daily walk?

Sowing for Eternity

February 25, 2026

Galatians 6:5-10

Paul reminds us that “God cannot be mocked; a man reaps what he sows” and that our choices—whether of the flesh or the Spirit—always lead to a harvest. In this passage, we’ll explore what it means to sow righteousness, persevere in doing good and trust God for the results that are real and eternal. This passage calls us to honest self‑examination and joyful obedience as we walk in the Spirit.  What am I consistently sowing—with my time, words, habits and attitudes—and what harvest will that produce before God?  Where is God inviting me to persevere in doing good, even when the results are not yet visible?

True Christians

February 18, 2026

Galatians 6:1-6

Paul paints a picture of what genuine Christian community looks like—restoring gently, carrying burdens, walking humbly and examining our own hearts before the Lord. We’ll explore what it means to help rather than hinder, to practice compassion instead of criticism and to take responsibility for our walk with Christ. These verses call us to a faith that is lived, shared and accountable.  Where is the Holy Spirit inviting me to restore, encourage or support someone with gentleness this week?  What am I discovering when I honestly examine my own actions, motives and spiritual responsibility?

Led by the Spirit

February 11, 2026

Galatians 5:18-26

What does it really look like to live in the freedom Christ purchased for us—freedom from the flesh, freedom to bear fruit and freedom to walk in step with the Spirit? In Galatians 5:18–26, Paul draws a sharp contrast between a life ruled by self and a life led by the Spirit, reminding us that victory, peace and true transformation are found only in Christ. This week, we’ll examine our fruit, confront the desires we need to nail to the cross and rediscover the joy of following the Spirit in every part of life.  Where is the Spirit inviting me to surrender a lingering desire of the flesh so I can walk in greater freedom and peace?  What fruit of the Spirit is He calling me to cultivate more intentionally in my relationships this week?

Led by the Spirit

February 4, 2026

Galatians 5:13-18

Christian freedom isn’t a license to live for ourselves — it’s an invitation to live empowered by the Spirit and shaped by love. Paul reminds us that every day we choose whether to walk in the flesh or walk in the Spirit, and that choice determines not only our character but our witness. When believers use their freedom to serve, love, and pursue holiness, the world sees Jesus clearly.  What does my daily life reveal about whether I’m being led by the flesh or by the Spirit?  How is my use of Christian freedom impacting the people around me — drawing them toward Christ or distracting them from Him?

Running Well, Guarding Well

January 28, 2026

Galatians 5:7-12

Paul reminds the Galatians that they started their race with strength, clarity  and freedom—but something (or someone) has slowed their stride. In Galatians 5:7–12, he exposes how even a small dose of false teaching can derail a believer’s progress and poison the life of a church. This passage calls us to examine what influences shape us, what voices we trust and whether we are still running with the same focus we once had in Christ.  What subtle influences—habits, voices, relationships, teachings—might be hindering my race for Christ?  Where do I need to return to the simplicity and purity of the Gospel so I can run freely again?

Freedom in Christ

January 21, 2026

Galatians 5:1-6

Christ didn’t set us free so we could slip back into old chains — He freed us to walk in the Spirit with confidence, peace, and purpose. Galatians 5:1–6 reminds us that true righteousness isn’t found in rule‑keeping but in a faith that expresses itself through love. This week, we’re examining what it really means to live free, walk by faith, and let Christ’s love flow through us.  Where am I relying on my own effort instead of resting in the freedom Christ already secured for me?  How is the Spirit inviting me to grow in a faith that works through love this week?

Living in the Freedom of Christ

January 14, 2026

Galatians 4:21-31

Paul draws a vivid contrast between slavery and freedom, reminding believers that life with God is not earned through human effort but received through His promise. In Christ, we are not defined by the flesh or by religious striving—we are children of the free woman, heirs of grace and participants in God’s miraculous promise.  What habits or mindsets might still keep me living as though I am a slave rather than a child of promise?  How is my daily life revealing that I trust God’s promise more than my own effort?

Hard Truths - Holy Love

January 7, 2026

Galatians 4:16-21


Paul’s words remind us that God’s truth can feel sharp, yet it always flows from holy love that longs to see Christ formed in us. We are called to discern the voices we follow and to welcome the kind of truth that leads us deeper into Christ.  Where am I resisting a hard truth God is using to shape me?  Which voices most influence my faith, and do they lead me toward Christ or away from Him?

The Law Helps Us Understand our Freedom from the Law

November 12, 2025

We can celebrate the freedom and new life found in the Spirit.  What Godliness is being revealed in my actions and attitudes?   How am I walking according to the Spirit rather than according to the flesh?

Lesson 1

September 10, 2025

Where might I be seeking human approval more than God’s approval?
