About this sermon

Is your daily conduct consistent with the truth of the gospel? In this expository sermon from Galatians 2:11-14, Pastor Richard Caldwell examines one of the most striking confrontations in New Testament history: the Apostle Paul publicly correcting the Apostle Peter in Antioch. When the fear of man led Peter into hypocrisy—withdrawing from Gentile believers to appease the circumcision party—Paul recognized that the very authority of the gospel was at stake. This was not a minor disagreement; it was a battle for the doctrine of justification by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Key Takeaways from this Sermon: The Danger of Hypocrisy: How even mature believers like Peter can stumble when influenced by the fear of man rather than the fear of God. The Necessity of Public Correction: Why undeniable, public compromise requires a public defense of the truth to protect the church. Gospel Conduct: Why the gospel is not merely a doctrinal statement to be believed, but a truth that must govern our daily lifestyle and fellowship. The Humility of Repentance: A look at Peter's mature, godly response to being rebuked and his enduring love for his brother Paul.
