Fearing the People - October 21
Read Galatians 2:11-12 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. Reflect Have you ever acted in a way that is not consistent with the Gospel because you feared what others will think and say about you? Simon Peter (Cephas) is quite the character in the Bible. Th

Partners and Fellows - October 20
Read Galatians 2:9-10 …and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. Only, they asked me to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do. Reflect How are today’s verses an example of how different Christian ministries, organizations, and individual churches should interact with each o
