Galatians 6:11-18
This morning Pastor Nathanael will be wrapping up our series on the book of Galatians.
We’ve made some major accomplishments as a human race: the creation of the internet has connected us in ways we could’ve never imagined; the development of vaccinations; traveling to space and landing on the moon; renewable energy sources and much more. We have lots to be proud of! Sometimes we boast about our parenting and how well our kids were raised, our career or achievements, or perhaps our traditions and heritage. It’s our natural inclination to be proud of certain achievements that required a lot of time and energy, and we should be proud in healthy doses, but they mustn’t glory over the cross.
Paul finishes his letter with a concentrated effort to centralize their focus to glory in the cross.
