Galations 1: 1-9

Sermon Outline: "Remaining faithful to the Gospel"

Introduction

Briefly introduce the context of Galatians and Paul’s urgent message to the churches of Galatia.

Explain the importance of understanding and safeguarding the true gospel.

Point 1: The Danger of Turning Away from the True Gospel (Galatians 1:6)

Scripture Reference: "6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel."

Explanation:

Why was Paul so “Astonished?” with the Church of Galatia?

Illustrate examples where believers face numerous alternative gospels (e.g., prosperity gospel, self-help philosophies) that can lead them away from the core message of Christ.

Highlight the human tendency to be easily swayed and the spiritual instability that leads to the true gospel.

Application:

Encourage self-examination: Are we being faithful to the true gospel, or are we trying to make the Gospel fit our lives?

Emphasize the need for discernment and grounding in Scripture.
