Community - United, Yet Different
- Intentional listing of different people groups
- Galatia isn't named, but is included (Pontus and Phrygia overlap its borders)
- Romans and Greeks considered Galatians to be barbarians, unrefined, unintelligent, etc.
- Open invitation to all to accept Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit
- Surrounding context for verses 11-14
- Unity doesn't mean same - we are to be united despite our differences, showing compassion and love to all people
Prejudice (of any kind - ethnic, social, political, religious, economic, etc.) has no place in following God
Table questions
- 01 How do you recognize your own prejudices or biases and how do you deal with them?
- 02 How do you move in compassion, unity, and love toward those with views that don't line up with your own?
