God’s Strengthening Word: Putting Faith Into Actionਨਮੂਨਾ

Introduction

Galatians 2:1–14: Paul describes his meeting with the apostles in Jerusalem and reports on a disagreement he had with Peter in Antioch.

Today’s Key Verse: Galatians 2:8 GNT

[Paul said:] “For by God’s power I was made an apostle to the Gentiles, just as Peter was made an apostle to the Jews.

Reflect

What was the “special task” that the apostles recognized had been given to Paul (verses 7–9)? What agreement was reached between Paul and Barnabas and the leaders in Jerusalem (verse 9)? The apostles asked that Paul “remember the needy in their group” (verse 10). In what ways do churches and faith-based organizations remember the needy today? How do you remember the needy? What caused Paul’s conflict with Peter (verses 11–14)?

Pray

Almighty God, with a humble heart I thank you for your many blessings. Open my eyes and heart this day to the needs of others and to share the good news of your love and salvation. Amen.
