Galatians: Discord, Tension, and Resolution - Series Wrap-up

8.1 [Sermon Series Recap] Eric and Stephen discuss our last sermon series, "Galatians: Discord, Tension and Resolution” and spend some time recapping key points.

 

Eric Helvie - I find it compelling that Paul shows a willingness to go into risky relational territory, while building ideas of reconciliation into his rebuke of the Galatians. And yet, he also says in chapter four verse twenty, “How I wish I could be with you now and change my tone.” It’s almost as if he’s breaking the fourth wall. He steps outside of his writing for a second and acknowledges the limitations of the written letter in the letter itself: essentially saying that “in-person” interaction is far better and if he was able to be with them physically, this problem might be resolved more efficiently and with more flexibility.
