Journal Prompts
* A quick note on journaling: if you're new to this practice, our journey through the book of Psalms will be a great way to get started. The most important step to forming this discipline in your life is to write anything and write often. Journaling is an incredible way to slow down, digest the content of a text, let your brain internalize thoughts that may come up, and keep a record for future reflection on what God was speaking to you during your reading. Journaling can take many forms such as written prayers, bullet points, stream of consciousness, or even poetry. Try some different methods and find the one that works best for you.

Galatians Part 1: 1:1-10 No Other Gospel

Are there modern-time apostles in the church and if so, what do they do? If not, then why?
What would cause Paul to have such an attitude toward the churches of Galatia? Why would he write so passionately or with righteous anger?
What is the significance of Paul's reference to grace and peace? How does that correlate to His statement regards Christ dying for us?
What is the danger of a different gospel? Have you ever embraced a different gospel?
How is the one true gospel offensive to our humanity?
