Introduction:

· Galatians 2:11-16

· Read (Galatians 1:10)

· Peter is mentioned in the previous passage we looked at last week (Galatians 2:7)

· Peter and Barnabas are the subjects in today’s message. If you know Peter, he has a way of either putting his foot in his mouth and/or He is a people pleaser. As we explore today’s passage, we see the people’s pleaser side of Peter raise its ugly head. Now Barnabas on the other hand had traveled with Paul in preaching the gospel to Gentile believers. But as we will see today, we need to be careful that we do not compromise the Gospel so we can please others.
