Galatians: The Gospel of Freedom
The Power of Elementary Principles

  • Enslavement to Elementary Principles: Everyone Does It
  • A Window into Paul’s Gospel Ministry
  • Goals Shape Ministry

Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:

  1. Read Galatians 4:8-20. What are the elementary principles? How are pagan idol worship and religious legalism both rooted in elementary principles?
  2. What idols are you in most danger of serving? How does the gospel truth that God knows you free you from the temptation to worship idols?
  3. How did Paul’s ministry differ from the false teachers’ ministry? What were each of their goals for ministry? How does a goal shape ministry?
  4. We can all be gospel ministers to fellow Christians. How does this passage inform your ministry goals and methods?

Memory Verse of the Week: Galatians 4:19 My little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you! (ESV)
