The Church in Galatiawas made up of an interesting group of people. Paul had visited the area and established churches in what many believe was the southern part of the region. Sometime after his second visit Paul wrote a letter to the believers because of concerns he had for the faith of those he had taught the Good News. His love and deep concern for the churches in the area continued throughout his life.

Galatians 5:13-15

It is time that we get back to our old friend, the book of Galatians, and pray that we might glean from this powerful little book the lessons the Lord has for us this morning. We’ve taken a four week break from our study of Galatians as we journeyed through the Christmas season with the prophet Isaiah. I hope all of you had the opportunity to study Isaiah 9 with us during the month of December. It was a wonderful four weeks for me as I had the opportunity to come to know the real Gift of Christmas in a deeper and more comprehensive way. Jesus is the gift that endures throughout the ages, the One who transcends all Christmas fads, the Gift that outlasts all of the greenery, tinsel, and bows. He is the Gift that truly keeps on giving and the One who is the“Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace.”He has come to free us from the bondage of the Law and break the shackles of sin that have held us captive.
