    What The Bible Teaches About Prayer

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2025
     | 169 views

    Paul sought to address the challenges within Galatia regarding false teaching and many of the believers there being tempted to move away from the truth of the gospel, being influenced by the Judaizers who refused to accept the gospel by grace through faith alone.

    A Convincing Salutation Galatians 1:1-5 Today, I want to begin our journey through the book Paul wrote to the believers in Galatia. Many scholars agree that Galatians was one of the earliest of Paul’s letters, likely written somewhere around 49-50 AD. This early date assumes Paul was writing to ...read more

However, having greeted them, he got right to the point regarding his concern for them. Paul was well aware of the presence of false teachers among them ...read more
