as reminder. We will study Gal 3 again this week but use the story of King Saul to demonstrate and develop our understanding of why Paul is calling the Galatians foolish. Read Gal 3 and notice how Paul is moving to a description of a multi-cultural community of believers! Also, read 1 Sam10:8,
1 Samuel 10:8
8 “And ayou shall go down before me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and bsacrifice peace offerings. cYou shall wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you should do.”

1 Sam 12:22-25,
1 Samuel 12:22-25
22 “For athe Lord will not abandon His people bon account of His great name, because the Lord chas been pleased to make you a people for Himself.
a | b | c |
23 “Moreover, as for me, afar be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you; but bI will instruct you in the good and right way.
24 “aOnly 1fear the Lord and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider bwhat great things He has done for you.

11 But Samuel said, “What have you done?” And Saul said, “Because I saw
that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come
within the appointed days, and that athe Philistines were assembling at Michmash,
a |
12 therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not asked the favor of the Lord.’ So I forced myself and offered the burnt offering.”
13 Samuel said to Saul, “aYou have acted foolishly; byou have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, for now the Lord would have established your kingdom 1over Israel cforever.

4 Then Saul summoned the people and 1numbered them in aTelaim, 200,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 men of Judah.
6 Saul said to athe Kenites, “Go, depart, go down from among the Amalekites, so that I do not destroy you with them; for byou showed kindness to all the sons of Israel when they came up from Egypt.” So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

10 Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying,
11 “aI regret that I have made Saul king, for bhe has turned back from 1following Me and has not carried out My commands.” And Samuel was distressed and ccried out to the Lord all night.

17 Samuel said, “Is it not true, athough you were little in your own eyes, you were made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord anointed you king over Israel,
18 and the Lord sent you on a 1mission, and said, ‘aGo and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are exterminated.’

23 “For rebellion is as the sin of adivination,And insubordination is as biniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,cHe has also rejected you from being king.”

24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “aI have sinned; bI have indeed transgressed the 1command of the Lord and your words, because I feared the people and listened to their voice.

to get the context of Saul’s heart. This will be a powerful discussion on false doctrine and the related consequences of decisions made outside the will of God.
With reference to Antioch, I confused Peter’s visit to Simon the tanner with Peter’s visit to Antioch but it is a great lesson in false teaching as well. If we have time, we’ll dig into
the story of Cornelius and Peter.
This sermon - blog post is about Cornelius and Peter:
They both have visions from God that bring them together for a better understanding of God’s intent. The story flows into Paul’s discussion of the multi- cultural community.
These two stories help contrast men that seek truth and act on it verses men that rely on one’s self….ultimately, this is the freewill that God allows……where do you find your freedom?
Thanks to all for the discussion and participation and make lots of notes for Tuesday and let’s discuss….
Lastly, read
Deu 32:6,
6 “Do you thus arepay the Lord,bO foolish and unwise people?cIs not He your Father who has bought you?dHe has made you and established you.

for biblical support of “foolish”….Finally, read

3 But I am afraid that, as the aserpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
for some food to think about….See you guys on Tuesday!
Grace to you!
