In Galatians 2:1-14, Paul continued his personal story about his interaction with the leaders in Jerusalem, relating that they completely supported his message and ministry. He recounted these events in detail in order to defend the gospel and protect the unity of the church. It is still true today that we can maintain unity amidst great cultural diversity only if we hold on to the one and only gospel.
We need to look again at the familiar story of Jesus’ birth to see the many connections with past promises and their coming fulfillment.
The first psalm describes the two ways to live and their results.
When our life is off center, the result is dissatisfaction. In Haggai 1:1-11, God calls us to center our lives on him.
