Questions for reflection on the readings for Galatians 1:11-24:
  1. Paul has a dramatic conversion story. How would you tell your story to someone who wanted to know why you are a Christian? Is you’re a slow and constant glow of embers? Or were you cold and suddenly burst into flame?
  2. Learn more about Paul’s story here- Acts 9:1-30; 22:1-21; 26:1-23
  3. What are the parts of his story? Name the different sections of his story. For example, the first section might be “life without Christ”. What are the parts of your story?
  4. Take a few minutes and read the whole letter to the Galatians (out loud if you can). What is Paul’s main reason for writing?
