This week in fellowship we continue our teachings and messages on Galatians Chapter Two.  Last week Brother Kurtis shared a powerful word on this chapter, with its foundation in union, oneness, and identity of Spiritual Birth. This week will bring us more Spiritual knowledge concerning our Spiritual identity as the Spiritually birthed son of God,  the Father. Paul tells us his gospel came from the specific revelation of Jesus Christ.  He tells us he is not rebuilding his past identity as a Jew under the Law of Moses.  He discusses what he sees in his “rear view mirror” of the cross and what that “rear view mirror” revealed to him in the Spirit.  His closing thought in this chapter is a question heard and talked about daily in MMR.   Is it the Law or the Cross that has value?  Which is worthless? Let’s talk about it…

I will be teaching in Galatians Chapter – 2 this week in Sunday Fellowship.  Thanks to Paul’s determination to eradicate the influences of the Judaizers in his day, we see very little of their influence in today’s church. But what about Paul’s gospel? The gospel has become the very definition of the illusion of explanatory depth. Everybody uses the term, but very few can tell you what it means. The illusion of explanatory depth (IOED) is cognitive bias or an illusion where people tend to believe they understand a topic better than they do. So, it is with the gospel. It is becoming increasingly clearer that many leaders of the Church cannot give a clear and concise definition of the gospel. Imagine, the gospel lost in the church.

This week in fellowship we will finish teaching Galatians Chapter One. The first week sister Brenda revealed this in chapter 1 “Different vs Another Gospel“. Brother Kurtis shared his insight on “Different vs Another Gospel” the next week. This week we again look at this powerful and intense God idea of “Different vs Another Gospel.” Paul opens this chapter by laying the foundation for Spiritual Identity, starting with his identity as an apostle and what gave him this identity. Some at that time questioned his identity and authority in the church (the Judaizers who had believed but were protecting the Law of Moses). Paul takes us from his original identity of the flesh to the exchanged identity of the Spiritual Son. Think about that for a moment. He had a new or exchanged Spiritual Identity but did not realize the depth of this new person he had become as the Son! No one in Jerusalem had the knowledge or understanding to reveal this new Spiritual Identity to him (you can’t give what you don’t have!). But wait there’s more! Let’s talk about it…

This week in fellowship we will explore a unique aspect of Paul’s writings in Galatians chapter 1— a subtle error —- an error that is not obvious or comprehensible. I have read that if you veer off course 1 degree while flying around the equator, you will land almost 500 miles (805 kilometers) off-target when landing. A subtle error can have significant repercussions over time and distance. So it is with the gospel. If the cornerstone of new spiritual birth and the understanding of the identity that it gives you is not laid in truth, then everything built upon it will be magnified error over time. So, let’s see what the Spirit reveals concerning this subtle error…
