Galatians 1:1–5 – An Authentic Messenger

What qualifies someone to speak for God? In this opening message from Galatians, we explore Paul’s credentials and what they teach us about authentic gospel messengers today.

Originally preached to Ekklesia Churches by Dan Morse on February 2, 2025, this message unpacks Paul’s unique calling as an apostle and how his greeting challenges both ancient and modern standards of authority in ministry.

We explore three key markers of an authentic messenger: godly character, submission to Scripture, and prioritizing the gospel. Along the way, we consider how to navigate the clutter of modern Christianity—celebrity influencers, social media preachers, and denominational confusion—by holding fast to these biblical qualifications. This episode sets the tone for the rest of the series through a strong foundation rooted in Scripture and centered on Christ.
