southwood 2 april 2013 | southwood.org ˜ about this issue If you’ve been a reader of BRANCHES for some time you likely have seen the correlation between the topics of discussion at Southwood and the content we publish. Sometimes, seasonal events drive our focus, sometimes it’s logistical aspects of church life and other times it is the subject matter from the pulpit. Likewise, if you’ve been sitting in the pews you’ve heard the (painfully slow -LOL) progression through the study of Galatians. I often wonder if we’re trying to do it in “real time” according to Paul’s journeys! Put yourself in Paul’s shoes for a moment: You’ve spent years planting new churches in Galatia. Rescuing people from paganism and spending countless months you’ve shown them how faith alone can rescue them—that they “were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.” (Gal. 4:8) And now these same churches are being taught that salvation comes through the Mosaic law, so-called legalism. How long will it take to remind them of the faith which saved them? Now, in his heart, Paul yearns to serve the Gentiles. After all, his efforts were targeted towards them. He was wanting to show how Gentiles equally have a way to God through Christ! At the heart of the Gospel is a command to serve one another out of love, and Paul recounts that “they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.” (Gal 2:10) The Spirit within Paul drove him to walk with the Spirit, and the fruit of the Spirit is the result. Sanctication (the process of being made holy) is the theme of this issue, as it is the topic of many conversations that result from wrestling with how the “fruit of the spirit” becomes evident in our lives. I challenge you to consider perspective as being key in understanding sanctication. From whose vantage point are you measuring the fruit of the spirit in your life: your own, your neighbor’s or God’s? Are they different? I hope that this issue provides you with an opportunity to consider how focusing on Christ, rather than our “status” in sanctication, might yield the very result you most desire. ’ 2 3 6 10 15 8 9 16 18 4 5 5 14 17 19 reflect q f m What is your best April Fool’s story? relate k Will Spink touches on struggling with sin 5 q Bryan Chapell looks at sanctication, grace & holiness cc fm wk The day captured through Instagram f m g Just a glimpse into one of the many small groups that meet each week respond m m w An excerpt from a future book on sanctication by Jean Larroux g m f cf Excerpts of Walter Marshall’s book v cg c William Cowper’s hymn concerning salvation by faith alone f The Beatles, holiness, and the greatest commandment upComiNg EvENtS m 5 New Adult Sunday School Begins m 5 Senior Sunday 1000 Carl T.
