1. Paul’s Authority (Galatians 1:1–2)
Paul opens by affirming his apostleship came directly from Jesus, not human authority.
Something to think about: How does understanding God’s personal calling over your life strengthen your confidence in serving Him?
 
2. Christ’s Atonement (Galatians 1:3–5)
Paul reminds believers that grace and peace come only through Christ’s self-giving love and sacrifice.
Something to think about: How can you rest in the sufficiency of Christ’s work rather than striving to earn God’s approval?
 
3. Paul’s Astonishment (Galatians 1:6–9)
Paul expresses shock that the Galatians were deserting the gospel of grace for a works-based message.
Something to think about: What are modern “different gospels” that tempt believers today, and how can we stay anchored to truth?
 
4. God’s Approval (Galatians 1:10)
Paul clarifies that he seeks to please God, not man — his service is for Christ alone.
Something to think about: In what areas of your life do you struggle with seeking people’s approval more than God’s?
 
5. The True Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:3–4)
The gospel message is simple: Christ died, was buried, and rose again for our salvation.
Something to think about: How can you share this simple yet life-changing message with someone this week?

Discern Truth from Error
Ask God to give you wisdom to recognize false teachings and courage to defend the true gospel.

Live for God’s Approval
Pray that your heart’s desire would be to please God above all else, not the opinions of people.

Embrace Your Calling
Ask God to help you walk confidently in the purpose and mission He’s given you, just as Paul did.

Celebrate Freedom in Christ
Pray with gratitude for the freedom Jesus secured for you — freedom from sin, shame, and striving.
