Grace Over Pressure

Send us Fan Mail We read Paul’s gospel straight from Acts 13 to see what he actually preached in Galatia and why the resurrection changes everything. We wrestle with grace versus pressure, and we reset our focus on God’s glory as the center of the cross and the Christian life. • Paul’s missionary pattern of starting in synagogues and speaking to both Jews and God-fearers • Acts 13 as a clear summary of Paul’s gospel message • The resurrection as the decisive proof and turning point • Forgiveness of sins and freedom that the law of Moses cannot provide • God as the main character shown through the verbs of salvation history • The purpose of the cross as bringing glory to God • Paul’s authority in Galatians 1:1–5 and why it matters • “Grace and peace” as a bridge to Greeks and Jews • Rescue from the power of the present evil age • Letting go of comparison and embracing our specific calling
