Continuing the study of Paul’s autobiographical account in Galatians 1–2, this lesson considers how his history substantiates the divine origin of his gospel. Paul’s account serves as evidence that the message he preached was revealed by God rather than invented by people.

This message considers a philosophy of ministry that equips young adults with Christ’s wisdom for godly living. Drawing on Colossians 1:9–10, it brings discipleship, decision-making, and discernment together as areas in which the College and Career ministry seeks to help believers grow.

This message connects courageous spiritual leadership with properly ordered fear, dependence on God, eternal hope, and compassion. Peter’s compromise in Galatians provides a warning that seemingly ordinary social influences can weaken conviction, calling leaders to trust the Lord rather than their own understanding.

Joel Teague considers Paul’s discouraged and distracted heart alongside his renewed convictions about God and the privileges of ministry. The circumstances that weighed on Paul are met by convictions he regripped, framing the struggle with discouragement around God and His work.

This study follows Paul’s thanksgiving for the Colossians’ faith, love, and heavenly hope, showing how the gospel produces visible change in a church. It presses beyond professions of faith to the everyday test of loving fellow believers, responding graciously rather than defensively, and trusting what God has promised.

Este mensaje considera cómo la madurez cristiana lleva a sobrellevar las debilidades de otros y seguir el ejemplo de Cristo. Aprender de las Escrituras y depender de Dios en oración contribuye a una armonía que le glorifica.

This study considers Jude’s warning that the apostates were marked out for condemnation and the certainty of coming judgment. Christ will return, He will not return alone, and He will judge those who reject Him, reinforcing the seriousness of Jude’s warning.

Richard Goff explains why Christians can reckon trials as joy without pretending that suffering is comfortable. Because God uses tested faith to produce endurance and maturity, believers can face hardship with confidence in His completing work rather than treating discomfort as purposeless.

In this lesson, Jude develops his portrait of apostates through their behavior, comparisons with three historical figures, and images drawn from nature. These descriptions bring the character of the false teachers into focus as the study continues through Jude 8–13.
