What we're talking about at Gangway these days

Just FYI. For parents or anyone reading the blog. CRPC student ministry has been going through Galatians. Every week we post a few questions for discussion. Posted below are the questions for this week and next. If you are in a community at Coral Ridge the questions may look familiar. This is because these questions come from Tim Keller's study on Galatians which most if not all community groups are going through.

Gangway February 17th & 18th

Read Galatians Chapter 3:1-14

Questions:

1. What can we learn from 3:1-3 about how the Galatians came to Christ from paganism? (What was presented to them? How did they respond? What was the result?

2. What can we learn from 3:3-5 about how the Galatians are to grow spiritually, now that they are Christians? How are the Galatians to grow?

3. Paul warns the Galatians that it's easy to fall back into a works righteousness as we try to overcome sin. How does believing the gospel help us overcome sin?

4. In (v.6) What does it mean that Abraham's faith was credited? On what basis does God credit righteousness to Abraham?

5. How was Abraham's saving faith a model for us?

6. What does it mean that Jesus did not simply take our curse but "became a curse" for us? (vv. 10-14).

Questions:

1. What is the difference between receiving something by promise or receiving something by law? (v. 18)

3. how does the law "lead a person to Christ?" (vv. 23-25)
