The Gospel That Unites

The gospel is simple: we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus. But what happens when culture, tradition, or personal comfort starts to reshape that message?

In this episode, Pastor Lauren unpacks Galatians 2:1–10, where Paul defends the gospel before the church leaders in Jerusalem. The result? Unity without compromise.

👉 You’ll learn:

• Why adding rules or traditions to faith undermines the gospel
• How cultural expression is not the same as biblical obedience
• Why Paul’s courage preserved freedom for future generations of believers
• How we can pursue unity centered on truth, not superficial agreement

🤔 Reflection Questions:

• What cultural or personal preferences might you confuse with the gospel?
• How can you celebrate unity with other believers who may worship differently than you?
• When has God called you to stand firm for truth, even when it was unpopular?

🚶‍♂️ Next Steps:

• Pray for humility and discernment to know what’s gospel truth and what’s personal preference
• Encourage another church or ministry that faithfully preaches the gospel
• Remember: true unity comes from the cross, not from compromise
