Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:
- Read Galatians 4:8-20. What are the elementary principles? How are pagan idol worship and religious legalism both rooted in elementary principles?
- 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?
- 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?
- We can all be gospel ministers to fellow Christians. How does this passage inform your ministry goals and methods?
