(a) If you could summarise Paul’s main point in this passage in a single sentence, what would that sentence be?

(b) What might each of the following have to say about their ‘previous way of life’ (i.e. their life before conversion to Jesus Christ): Peter, James, Lydia, Timothy…and you?

(c) Think of the different places you have visited or lived in.  Looking back, what does that say about God’s purposes for his kingdom and for you?

(d) Look at Galatians 1:11 & 12.  When we share the gospel today, how can we be sure that it is a message from Jesus Christ, and not just something that human beings have made up?

(e) “They praised God because of me” (verse 22).  Who would you like to praise God for?  Why not praise him now?
