Galatians 3:10-18 The historian Tom Holland’s recently published ‘Dominion’ is about the debt that the contemporary West owes to Christianity. At the centre of this Christianity is the cross. Holland writes, ‘All are heirs to the same revolution: a revolution that has, at its molten heart, the image of a god dead upon an implement of torture’. But why is the death of Jesus the heart of the revolution? And why do we need to keep the cross at the centre?
Galatians 5:1-15 In Greek mythology sailors had to navigate between two deadly monsters – Scylla and Charybdis – on opposing shores of a narrow stretch of water. The risk was that in seeking to steer away from one, they ended up in the clutches of the other. As Christians we too need to steer a course between two opposing dangers – legalism and licence. Galatians tells us how.
Galatians 3:1-9 Stephen Covey taught us that ‘the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing’. But what is the main thing? The Bible tells us it is Jesus Christ and him crucified. But as the Galatian churches found, it’s all too easy to lose sight of the cross.
Galatians 4:12-5:1 Over a period of some 300 years, 11 million Africans were transported across the Atlantic in bondage. The slave-trade was as a terrible part of our history of which we should be deeply ashamed. But Galatians warns us about a spiritual slavery which is still ongoing today, and from which Christ alone can set us free.
Revelation 13:1-18 What is God doing in the world? Why does it look such a mess? The weird and wonderful book of Revelation draws back the curtain to show us the heavenly, spiritual realities that will keep us going through the ups and downs of this present age.
Galatians 3:19-4:11 Before he trusted in Christ, John Wesley was very moral and religious. Looking back on that time he said later that ‘I only had the faith of a servant, not that of a son’. Many people, like Wesley in those early years, mistake life under the law for true Christianity.
Revelation 12:1-17 What is God doing in the world? Why does it look such a mess? The weird and wonderful book of Revelation draws back the curtain to show us the heavenly, spiritual realities that will keep us going through the ups and downs of this present age.
