Series: Road to Freedom - A Hitchhiker's Guide to Galatians

Galatians 1:11-24

Introduction:

- The power of our stories

- God's "concurrency"

Paul's Amazing Story:

1. God's revelation in Jesus (vv 11-12)

2. Before Jesus - one way of life (vv 13-14)

3. BUT WHEN GOD - the ultimate "turnaround artist" (vv 15-16a)

4. The new life

- total reconstruction of our biography

- individual treatment by an independent God (vv 16b-24)

Some implications for us today:

1. What is my passion?

2. What is my calling?

3. How do I know God's will?

4. Are we ready to tell our stories?
