1 Corinthians: Addressing Chaos & Division

- Sexual Immorality: Condemns incest and other sins, commanding the church to discipline members and live holy lives, as redeemed bodies belong to Christ.
- Lawsuits & Freedom: Advises against taking fellow believers to court, suggesting it's better to be wronged.

Topic: Galatians
Location: B1
Facilitator: Jeff Cheatwood
Course Description
As we begin our study of Galatians, we’re stepping into one of the clearest explanations of the gospel in all of Scripture. This letter reminds us that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone—not by our effort or performance. It calls us to live in the true freedom Jesus purchased for us and to walk daily in the power of the Holy Spirit. In a world where many voices try to add to or distort the message of Jesus, Galatians anchors us to the truth and helps us understand who we are as God’s sons and daughters. May this study deepen our confidence in Christ and transform the way we live out our faith.
