Talks on Galatians
Made for God || Tim Johnson || Galatians 4:4-11
We’re halfway through our You Do You series- exploring this idea of ‘expressive individualism’, and where we find our identity. Modern western culture says to find your true self, you just need to look inward. But as we’ve seen, looking inwards isn’t t…
Carrying Burdens || Freedom in Jesus || Galatians 6:1-18
The final chapter of Paul’s letter to the Galatians leaves us with an encouragement to support our brothers and sisters in Christ; carrying one another’s burdens. As Paul has made clear throughout this letter, we’re a family of believers, and mutual ca…
Feeling Like You Aren’t Good Enough? || Freedom in Jesus || Galatians 5:13-25
Do you ever feel like you aren’t good enough? In this part of Paul’s letter to the Galatians, he lists a whole range of things that are in opposition to living “in the Spirit”, or living to get your own way; from sexual immorality, to witchcraft, envy …
Freedom from the Law || Freedom in Jesus || Galatians 5:1-12
Once Jesus came to earth and died on the cross, the Old Testament law of the Jewish people was fulfilled. It no longer held value, as everything needed for our salvation was done by Jesus. Paul continues his letter to the Galatian church by reiterating…
Don’t Try This At Home || Freedom in Jesus || Galatians 4:21-31
In this section of Paul’s letter to the Galatians, he tries something we can’t recommend; but comes to a conclusion we can all agree with.
Tim continues our Freedom in Jesus series, reminding us that we’re all family in Jesus.

Before and After || Freedom In Jesus || Galatians 3:23-4:7
“Before and After” photos can reveal stunning changes. Before and after dieting and exercise; before and after renovations; before and after following Jesus! Paul, in Galatians, describes a before and after that the Jewish people went through – before …
Claim your inheritance || Freedom In Jesus || Galatians 3:15-22
In Julie’s final talk at St John’s, she tackles one of the densest parts of the letter to the Galatians. The church in Galatia was looking back to the time before Jesus, at the law of Israel – something Jesus came to fulfil and free them from. Paul cha…
Absolute Idiots. || Freedom In Jesus || Galatians 3:1-14
You IDIOTS!
Paul starts this part of his letter to the Galatians calling them absolute idiots. Why such a strong telling off? Tim explores the right and wrong way to live the #blessed life.
Paul Calls Out Peter || Freedom In Jesus || Galatians 2:11-21
A strongly worded passage, this part of Paul’s letter to the Galatians refers to another leader in the early church – Peter (or Cephas, same person). Paul calls out Peter’s actions, as he was withdrawing from eating and interacting with those who weren…
Added Improvements || Freedom In Jesus || Galatians 1:11-2:10
One of Tim’s dear friends adding water to wine. Another squirting tomato sauce on pizza.
When we make additions to things that are already great, we can ruin them.
Jesus’ message of grace and forgiveness is already everything we need. Adding to i…
To the Galatians, Love Paul || Freedom in Jesus || Galatians 1:1-10
Following Jesus is all it takes to be a Christian, but the church in first-century Galatia (now Turkey) tried to add things on top of that. Paul’s letter to the Galatians starts off really nice – “grace and peace be with you!”, but quickly, his tone ch…
I am a Child of God || Who Am I? || Galatians 3:26-4:7
We all lean on something. Whether it’s a job or a relationship, a hobby or even our own moral compass. These things are often great influences on our lives but how can we truly lean away from these things and begin to fully trust God, even in the hard …
