Galatians Week 5





Week 5 of our Galatians Study! And we have a special guest on the podcast this week! PS He's super handsome in case you couldn't tell from his voice.







Study Questions Week 5


  1. Identify and celebrate one area of your life that you have found freedom from slavery. And then identify and confess one area that you are still under the yoke of slavery.
  2. Verse 6 says "the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."
    1. How do you express your faith? 
    2. Explore at least one new way to express your faith through love. Write a letter to a friend, take a meal to a neighbor, give a smile to a stranger. Whatever it may be, step out of your ordinary expressions of faith and try something new.
  3. Tina talked about the two lists in verses 19. Grab a journal and see which side your life falls on recently. Since the second list is fruits of the Spirit, it means that God can make them grow in your life. Pick one that you would like more of and pursue God for it.
  4. Verse 25 says "Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit." 
    1. How do we keep in step with the Spirit? 
    2. How are you specifically keeping step with the Spirit? 
  5. Weekly challenge. Love your neighbor as yourself.

Hospitality for the Rest of Us: Long Distance

People are moving more and more. When I was a youngster, it was a rare instance for a friend to move away. Now it's me that moves away. We've moved a lot, especially when we first got married. It was something like five addresses and three states in the first four years of our marriage. We've slowed down a bit. In the midst of all that moving, we've made some friends along the way. I try to keep an open line in case of times of grief and celebration. One of the best tools I've found for keeping in touch with loved ones far away is Facebook. As much time as I could spend doing other things instead of checking it, it's the best thing I've found. It allows me to communicate with others, without having to call. I know calling is amazing, hearing people's voices, but for introverts, there are no body language clues for us to pick up on that help make our conversations easier. It's also why we prefer to video chat :-) Back to Facebook, some etiquette.

Stories from the Kitchen: Taste and See

I celebrated my birthday last weekend. It was wonderful and the leftovers left me with a question or two. Find out what they are and how I'm currently answering them in this week's podcast.

Threadbare Knees

I feel sure that you've heard the saying "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade."  Well, recently I picked up a pair of wool cashmere blend slacks from Salvation Army and upon further inspection at home, the knees were threadbare, practically holes.  Easy enough to miss, when your knees don't fall in the same spot as the previous owner.  They were inexpensive, so it wasn't a big monetary loss, but I felt like it would be a shame to toss such nice fabric and so I searched the internet to see what I could do.  I found this cute little purse pattern, for free!   You can go check it out by clicking here . It is a great little pattern and I was able to make the entire purse in one rainy day!  Here are some pictures of my threadbare knees purse. Don't you just love those little pleats? And there's even a little pocket inside.  I'm so impressed with myself! Time to fill it up with my keys and such non-sense! And remember, when life gives you th
