194.


Paul Defends His Ministry

1.

Today's Passage: Galatians 1:11-21


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).


Thank you LORD for always being ready to listen to us.
We want to listen to You in this reading.
Help us do that.
In Your name we pray
Jehoshua
Amen


11. Dear brothers and sisters, I want you to understand that  
the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning.  
12. I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me.  
Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ.  

13. You know what I was like when I followed the Jewish religion ⏤  
how I violently persecuted God's church. I did my best to destroy it.  
14. I was far ahead of my fellow Jews in my zeal for the traditions of my ancestors.  

15. But even before I was born, God chose me and  
called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him  
16. to reveal his Son to me so that I would proclaim  
the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles.  

When this happened, I did not rush out to consult with any human being.  
17. Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to consult with those   
who were apostles before I was.  Instead, I went away to Arabia   
and later I returned to the city of Damascus.  

18. Then three years later I went to Jerusalem to get to know Peter,   
and I stayed with him for fifteen days.  
19. The only other apostle I met at that time was James, the Lord's brother.  
20. I declare before God that what I am writing to you is not a lie.  

21. After that visit I went north into the provinces of Syria and Cilicia.  
22. And still the Christians in the churches in Judea didn't know me personally.  
23. All they knew was that people were saying,  
"The one who used to persecute us is now preaching the very faith he tried to destroy!"  
24. And they praised God because of me.  
Galatians 1:11-24 NLT

1st strategy is taken from the ancients - Lectio Divina

2.
  • Ask God to open your heart and mind to what is written in the passage.
  • Read the passage
  • Re-read the passage looking for 3 words or phrases that really resonate in your heart.
  • Write those words down.
  • Re-read the passage. Of the 3 words which 1 resonates most in your heart?
    • Ask yourself what does this word mean in my life?
    • Where do I need change/growth/revelation?
  • Write this word down. Or, remember this word throughout your day.
  • Ask God to show you meaning from the passage.
  • We read, reflect, and communicate. Share with the community.
  • Don't forget to thank God for being with you during this endeavor to find intimacy with Him.

Thank you LORD
Please come and let us HEAR you.
In your name we pray
Allelujah
Jehoshua
Amen.
