Bible Story Podcast
What are your parents like? You’ve probably noticed that they are not perfect. In this episode, we will talk about the Perfect Privilege that comes from a perfect heavenly Father!
We learned today that when we try to live our Christian faith by doing the right things, we miss out on a lot of privileges that God offers. As we connect and grow closer to Christ we find more enjoyment from the blessings and privileges he blesses us with!
At the end of your discussion, go around the group and ask for prayer requests.
We get asked a lot of hard questions at camp. It is one of the best parts of our Job! Today, Paul helps us answer some of those questions that deal with God’s Law. Which, is a BIG topic and something we continue to explore!
Paul helps us understand the difference between the Law and the Promise of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. Both help us grow, with the law revealing our sins and grace giving us freedom as children of God.

Have you ever started strong at something, and then for some reason, you got misguided, and things went sideways? This is the story of the Galatians!
Are you foolish like the Galatians? I know I have been foolish far too often in my Christian journey. The Galatians started well, and they put aside the gift of the Holy Spirit and decided to try and become right with God through their own effort.

Bradon: Have you ever wondered, “how do I actually live as a Christian?”
Jon: When I try to live as a Christian should, I constantly fall short. I am a hypocrite.
Bradon: Today, we see how Paul approaches living the Christian life.
We learned that we can never earn our way to being good in God’s sight. Rather Christ lives through us and makes us whole.
At the end of your discussion, go around the group and ask for prayer requests.
Bradon: Okay, I have shared on the podcast before; I really enjoy New Year’s Resolutions!
Jon: I enjoy them too! I can try to be more fun and make more jokes, but I set the bar pretty high already…
Bradon: Well, in our next episode, we learn that it isn’t us who sets the bar… or even makes the change.
We read through Galatians 1:11-24. Really it’s just Paul kind of sitting, talking about his past, I think allowing the people in the letters to Galatia to kind of understand him better and then specifically pointing out his transformation through God that is this massive difference from who he was.
