Paul tells of his experience with those he was accountable to. They did not add to his message and extended the right hand of fellowship to him and Barnabus

Paul goes back to the council in Jerusalem. He is being accountable to them. He receive assurance and protection from this council in Jerusalem.

While in Jerusalem Paul speaks with James the brother of Jesus and then leaves. He continues to preach and people are hearing about Paul's message

Paul gives us an example of what to do with a revelation. Let it get set inside of You. This takes time.

Paul had a "but God" moment. Paul tells that God had intervened in his life. He tells of a revelation of having Jesus in him.

Paul tells of his life before God intervened. A fervent persecutor of the church. He was a fervent in his practice of Judaism and his ancestors traditions.

Paul received the Gospel by revelation. He was not taught it. He did not receive from mankind. He received a Gospel that revealed the Jesus Christ was in him.

We cannot be a people pleaser and a bond servant of Christ. If we speak to please people we are not speaking the Gospel.

Paul tells the Galatians that these who bring a different Gospel are accursed. They are separated from God.

Our rescue from this age brings glory that is everlasting to our God. Paul marvels at how the Galatians have desert Jesus for a different gospel.

Paul describes to the Galatians, as a reminder, what Christ has done for them. Their rescue was part of God's will of them.

Paul is writing this letter with his companions. They begin by sharing who God is and who Jesus is. They desire grace and peace in the churches of Galatia

An introduction into a book helps us to understand the book or letter. Here we share a brief introduction into the book of Galatians.

The call of God in the Apostle Paul's life. God calls but those in the five fold ministry must confirm that call.

Paul closes this letter with his desires for the Corinthian church. That they rejoice, that the be made complete, that they be comforted, like-minded, living in peace.

Paul shows us a third reason for his prayer, that they would be complete. Paul will use his authority to build them up and not tear them down.

Paul prays for the Corinthians that they would do no wrong. His prayer is not out of concern for his image but a concern for the Corinthians. Stand with truth and not against it.

Test to see if you are in the faith. If you are, then Jesus Christ is in you. Paul and his companions had passed the test.

Paul encourages the Corinthians that they are in Christ and because of that they can overcome sin and temptation.

Paul warns the Corinthians that his next visit he is going to confront them about what is in the church. He ends verse 3 by encouraging them that they are in Christ.
