"Unity is Hard Work" | Rev. Dave Sim | Galatians 2:8-14 | 09.29.2024

Renew Covenant Church Sermons

Though the Spirit had been moving hte early church towards being a more Gentile-inclusive community, Paul confronts Peter for being a hypocrite and ghosting the Gentiles after a delegation from Jerusalem show up on the scene. Christ-centered unity is more than just getting along, and it’s a difficult sustained journey of conviction. There will be push back. There will be loss of reputation and status. Faithful reconciliation involves conflict and truth-telling, with a spoonful of the Holy Spirit.
