THE GOSPEL IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR
Galatians 2:1-14
June 28, 2026
Sermons by Mark Miller and Kevin Pitts
Opener: What are some silly things you've fought over previously?
The first thing Paul establishes is the unity of message with the other apostles. What are some other churches in the area that you believe have unity of message with TGW? What do you appreciate about that church? How do we avoid competition with other Gospel churches?The apostles did not have to add anything to what Paul was preaching, but they did ask him to remember the poor. What are some ways we can "remember the poor" at TGW? Paul calls the other apostles "those who seemed influential," but emphasized that God shows no partiality. How is this concept important? What should we do with modern churches that have "apostles", "priests", "popes", etc? How should we approach celebrity pastors, christian musicians, our own pastors, etc. in this regard? Why do you think Paul characterizes the Judaizers as "spying out their freedom" and trying to "bring them into slavery"? How do we balance the desire to see good fruit/works with the necessity of preaching salvation through faith alone? Paul's special ministry was to the Gentiles. What special mission field do you see yourself called to? What about TGW?Paul had to publicly rebuke Peter for his hypocrisy. What do you see as an appropriate time for public rebuke vs. private rebuke? What did you think about the call to public apology when necessary? What groups of Christians do you find it awkward to associate with (like Peter with the Gentiles)? How is God calling you to fight this?What else did you glean from the passage? What convicted you?
