The Apostolic Authority of Paul – Galatians 1:11–24 Complete Teaching Suite
Maintaining the integrity of the Gospel requires an understanding of its source. In this comprehensive study of Galatians 1:11–24, we examine the apostle Paul’s rigorous defense of his message and ministry. Paul’s central argument is clear: the Gospel is not a human invention, nor is it a tradition passed down through religious institutions. It is a direct revelation from Jesus Christ.
The Lesson: From Persecutor to Proclaimed Apostle
This teaching explores the radical transformation of a man who was once the chief antagonist of the early Church. By revisiting Paul’s former zeal for Judaism and his violent history against believers, we see the undeniable evidence of God’s sovereign grace. Paul provides a detailed historical timeline—his time in Arabia, his return to Damascus, and his brief, independent visit to Jerusalem—to prove that his authority was established by God alone, long before he ever met the original twelve apostles.
