"Walk the Line," September 25, 2011

Read Galatans 2:11-16.

Explain in your own words Peter’s story in this passage. What had he been doing in Antioch? Who came visiting? Why and how did they change Peter’s public demeanor toward the Gentiles? How does Peter cave in to them? Hint: He ends up hypocritically teaching you must first become a _______ before you become a _______________.

Ryan said that in this passage, Peter gets caught doing something right! To what does that refer? Why does he feel “caught” doing this, i.e., what makes him think that what he’s doing right is wrong?

What measurement is Peter mistakenly assuming/falling back on? Are you prey to this tendency as well? How?

The stakes of this issue for Peter are whether his righteousness is based on ____________ or _________________. Explain. How would this issue affect other believers, whether Gentile or Jewish?

Ryan stated that the truth of the gospel is imputed righteousness. What does this mean? How do Peter’s actions say otherwise? How do ours say otherwise? What would it look like for our lives to affirm this truth?
