Please join us on Wednesday, October 9 for an evening with Scott Bader-Saye, Ph.D., Seminary of the Southwest Dean and President.
While exploring the theme of Understanding union with God and one another, we will focus for three weeks this fall on knowing yourself, knowing God and knowing each other – believing that all three parts are connected to Jesus’s command that we love God and love our neighbor as ourselves. Dean Bader-Saye will share his insights on what it means to be united to our neighbor as we also seek to be united with God. Dessert and coffee will be served at 6:00p, and the program will begin at 6:30p in the Windsor, Parish Life Center.

Sunday Bible Study: The Message to the Galatians
2024-10-13 09:15 - 10:10 | Windsor Campus, Media Room, 3201 Windsor Road, Austin, TX, United States
Paul and Barnabas had founded the Galatian churches on the first missionary journey (acts 13 + 14) by their preaching and teaching. After their departure, other teachers arrived and began to undermine Paul’s teaching. To address this “trouble” (1:7) and the confusion these teachers caused, Paul wrote a six-chaptered epistle. His three main questions were concerned with apostolic authority (how do we know what to believe?), the gift of salvation (how do we understand “justification by grace through faith”?), and the life of holiness (how do we live a life of righteousness and love?). The answers Paul gives to the Galatian believers hold true for us today. For more information, please contact the Rev. Mike Wyckoff.
