STB076 | BSE | Galatians 2.1-21: Paul's Testimony | Cultivate Relationships

BIBLE SCHOOL EDITION — Nathan shoots the breeze with Pastor Scott Frerking about Galatians 2.1-21. They discuss a timeline of Paul's life up until visiting Jerusalem a second time to deliver financial support. They also talk about how Paul had to confront Peter, Barnabas, and other Jewish Christians over their fear of being rejected by Jewish Christians from Jerusalem.

APPLICATION QUESTIONS
As a Christian, who in your life have you sought to impress or be accepted by, or not lose their favor or attention? How did you go about accomplishing this? What elements of your personality or behavior did you feel like you had to change for the person to accept you? Why did you want the person(s) approval?

ACTIVATION STEPS
Is there anyone you have put expectations on (i.e., things the person must do or change) for you to accept, forgive, or be in relationship with that person? Take some time this week to reach out to that person to apologize for putting on this person expectations.
