Lesson 3 — Galatians 2:1–10
One Gospel, One Mission: Who Sets the Terms?*
In Lesson 3 of our Galatians study, we follow Paul back to Jerusalem — not as a second‑class messenger, but as one sent directly by Christ. Paul’s message was simple: the gospel is the same for everyone — Jew and Gentile alike — and it cannot be altered by human tradition.
This week we explore:
Paul returns to Jerusalem by revelation
He brings Titus, a Greek believer
Paul stands firm: not a moment of compromise
Paul stands before the apostles in Jerusalem, defending the freedom of the gospel — Galatians 2:1–10
Lesson 4 — Galatians 2:11–21
“When Pressure Walks In the Door”
In lesson 4, we follow Paul into a tense moment in Antioch when Peter pulls away from Gentile believers out of fear of criticism. Paul confronts him—not over manners, but because Peter’s actions were no longer “in line with the truth of the gospel.” Together we’ll explore why justification is by faith in Christ alone, how spiritual pressure can cause believers to rebuild old walls of division, and what it means to live as people who have been “crucified with Christ.”
Paul confronts Peter for pulling away from Gentile believers under pressure.— Galatians 2:11–21
Lesson 5 - Galatians (3:1–14)
The Bait-and-Switch Gospel
Have you ever signed up for something that was advertised as free—only to discover later there was fine print? Extra steps. Extra requirements. Extra pressure.
That’s exactly what was happening to the Galatians. This lesson is a call to resist the drift toward performance and to return to the simple, powerful truth of the gospel: we begin by faith, and we continue by faith—because Jesus is enough.
In Galatians 3:1–14, Paul pulls the curtain back. He reminds them, and warns them that relying on the law as a system only leads to a curse. Christ became a curse for us so that the blessing promised to Abraham—and the promised Spirit—could come to all who believe.
Paul explains starting with the Spirit and finishing with the flesh is not what Jesus taught us. Begin with faith, continue with faith.— Galatians 3:1–14
