Paul, the Freedom Fighter (Gal. 2_1-10) - Part 1

GALATIANS EXPOSITORY SERIES   "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we're free at last!" These words were spoken by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the close of his address at the 1963 March on Washington for Civil Rights. Dr. King's words conveyed something besides freedom's joy; they also hinted at its long, hard struggle. They were spoken a full century after liberty was first proclaimed for African Americans. Free at last, after centuries of bondage and enslavement. At last, after another long century of prejudice and injustice. America’s experience with slavery teaches us that proclaiming emancipation and possessing liberty are two quite different things. Freedom is not easily gained, and once gained, it is easily lost. In part one of Dr. Gonzalez’s study of Galatians 2:1-10, he will: Point out how precious spiritual freedom is. The price that Jesus paid on the cross to gain it. How easy it is to squander that freedom and return to spiritual bondage, and He will begin his discussion on Paul’s second visit to Jerusalem.   ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________   Today’s podcast is brought to you by Time in the Word.
