Become as I Am!

Part 2

Text: Galatians 4:12-20

Introduction:

Lesson:

I. The Galatians’ previous attitude toward Paul signified their acceptance of Christ and the gospel. vv. 12b-14

Why did the Galatians welcome Paul and his message when most people would have been tempted to spit at him and reject him as a divinely cursed or demon-possessed man?

Reflection:

1.       Those who are free desire others to be free.

2.       Pastors should not be assessed by worldly standards.

3.       Our weakness is not an obstacle to the gospel but rather its occasion.
