Galatians is often quoted as the final word against Torah obedience. But is that actually what Paul was arguing?
In tonight’s teaching, we slow down and read Galatians the way its first-century audience would have heard it. This is not a debate about grace versus works. It is an examination of a real crisis involving Gentile believers, covenant identity, and who belongs in Abraham’s family.
We cover:
Who the Galatians were and what they worshiped before Messiah?
Why did Paul write this letter with such urgency?
How Acts 15 controls the discussion on Gentile inclusion.
What “works of the law” meant in Second Temple Judaism.
Why the Dead Sea Scroll document 4QMMT matters for Galatians.
Why Paul was not attacking Torah, but the misuse of Torah as a gatekeeping system.
If you have ever been asked, “Have you read Galatians?” as a way to shut down discussion, this study is for you. We are not reading Galatians through slogans or traditions. We are reading the text in its historical, Jewish, and covenant context.
This is part 1 of an ongoing teaching series on Galatians.

Galatians 1–3
Acts 15
Genesis 12, 15
