Galatians 3:15-25
On Wednesday nights we try to give you an in-depth Bible study. If you really want deep Bible study, t then Wednesday night is the time to be here.

This got Paul's attention. He gets going. He sees that the very truth of the Gospel is at stake. Now, in chapters 3 and 4 he will be expounding from the Scriptures themselves to prove that no one is saved by the works of the ...
