7-24-11 Greater Faith Than Fanaticism -2- Galatians 1:11-24

Greater Faith Than Fanaticism
Galatians 1:11-24

Paul's Spiritual Journey
  • He was set apart before he was born. v. 15a
  • He was a religious fanatical law enforcer - "sheriff." v. 13
  • He began as a true believer. v. 14
  • He was converted by grace and Christ. v. 15b-16a
  • He found purpose in preaching Jesus Christ. v. 16b
  • He sought God first before he seeking others perspective. v. 17-22
  • He preached faith in Christ that resulted in glorifying God. v. 23-24

A Practical & Spiritual Response for us today
  • Prospects are everywhere to teach God's will.
  • Power to change is in God and from God.
  • Put your faith in God by knowing Him and His will for your life.
  • Purpose of conversion is to share that relational faith in God.

Reflect On This Thought:
“Defined in psychological terms, a fanatic is a man who consciously over-compensates a secret doubt. Live by faith in Jesus Christ.”
