About this episode

Mark and Cindy discuss Galatians 2:1–10, focusing on Paul's defense of the gospel and the early church's challenges with legalism.

In this episode, Mark and Cindy explore Galatians 2:1–10 , when Pau explains his return to Jerusalem fourteen years after his conversion. Guided not by human pressure but by divine revelation, Paul meets privately with respected leaders like Peter, James, and John to confirm that the gospel he preached to the Gentiles—salvation through Christ alone, free from the requirements of Jewish law—was the true message of grace. Through the example of Titus, a Greek believer who was not compelled to be circumcised, the episode highlights the early church’s struggle against those who sought to add legal burdens to the gospel. As we walk through this passage, we’ll see how Paul courageously defends the freedom believers have in Christ, preserves the truth of the gospel for future generations, and demonstrates the unity of God’s mission—one gospel going to both Jew and Gentile, with a shared calling to remember the poor and live obediently in response to the grace of God.
