Welcome to week four of our study on the book of Galatians. This week we will discover that there are times in our lives where conflict is necessary. Some things are worth fighting for.

This week in Galatians we see Paul confront Peter and Barnabas, because their actions (led by fear) were out of step with the Gospel and leading others astray.

So what can we learn from this confrontation between Peter and Paul? Christ Followers can disagree on lots of things as they study the bible and live under freedom and grace. There is room for us to follow Jesus and do things differently. There are however times when conflict is necessary: when someone sins agains you (Matthew 18), when a brother or sister in Christ begins to walk in sin (James 5:19-20), or when someone changes the Gospel or essentials of the faith.

As we study Galatians 2:11-21, we are praying that the Holy Spirit would speak to you, and strengthen you in your relationship with Christ, and the way we live out our faith publicly.
