Paul’s Letter To The Galatians

Speaker: Samer Massad
Length: 3 Parts

We all want to be free, but most of us feel the pull toward pressure, performance, and proving ourselves—sometimes even in our relationship with God. That’s exactly what was happening when Paul wrote to the Galatians. They had embraced the grace of Jesus, but they were drifting back into bondage, trading freedom for rule-keeping and approval-chasing. Paul’s urgent message to them: Don’t go back.

Our invitation is simple but life-changing—to live each day as someone who already belongs to God, fully accepted and truly free.

Part 1: Set Free

Paul opens his letter to the Galatians in all-caps urgency, reminding them they’re slipping from grace into performance and people-pleasing. In this session, we’ll explore the difference between earning God’s approval and embracing the acceptance already given through Jesus. It’s an invitation to notice where we drift toward bondage—and to step into real freedom.

Part 2: Live Free

Even spiritual leaders like Peter felt the pressure to fit in and win approval. This session examines how fear, comparison, and the desire to impress can pull us away from living with integrity. We’ll discover what it looks like to stop trying harder and begin trusting the Spirit’s work in us.

Part 3: Stay Free

Paul reminds believers that they are no longer slaves but children of God—fully welcomed, fully loved. In this final session, we explore what it means to live with the confidence of belonging and to walk by the Spirit instead of the flesh. Freedom becomes something we experience not just personally, but in how we love, support, and carry one another.
