After the great moment of unity in the Jerusalem council, we see a division between Paul and Barnabas and some inconsistency as Paul circumcises Timothy. Yet God's strength prevails and encourages us to take heart and keep our trust and focus on Him.

The Jerusalem council shows us the path to and value in the church, founded on the grace of God shown to all kinds of people

As Paul and Barnabas complete their first missionary journey, we see that God is supreme over other gods, over suffering, and even over our weaknesses. As we recognize his supremacy, we walk in His paths, rather than our own.

Paul and Barnabas speak in the synagogue at Antioch in Pisidia. They remind us that God has taken action and urge us to continue in His grace.
