Right Hand of Fellowship by Kendall Fox


Galatians 2:6-10

6 But from those who [were of considerable repute (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no favoritism)—well, those who were of repute contributed nothing to me. 

7 But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised 

8 (for He who was at work for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised was at work for me also to the Gentiles),

 9 and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. 

10 They only asked us to remember the poor—the very thing I also was eager to do.

Sneaked In to Spy by Kendall Fox

Galatians 2:1-5

1 Then after an interval of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also. 

2 It was because of a revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that somehow I might be running, or had run, in vain. 

3 But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. 

4 Yet it was a concern because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy on our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us. 

5 But we did not yield in subjection to them, even for an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you

I Am Not Lying by Kendall Fox
Galatians 1:13-24

13 For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it; 

14 and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.

 15 But when He who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace was pleased 

16 to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood, 

17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus.

18 Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him for fifteen days. 

19 But I did not see another one of the apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. 

20 (Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying.) 

21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 

22 I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which are in Christ; 

23 but they only kept hearing, “The man who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy.” 

24 And they were glorifying God because of me.

Who Is Accursed ? by Kendall Fox

Galatians 1:6-10

6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel, 

7 which is not just another account; but there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 

8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 

9 As we have said before, even now I say again: if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

10 For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.

Rescued ! by Kendall FoxGalatians 1:1-51 Paul, an apostle (not sent from men nor through human agency, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead), 2 and all the brothers who are with me,To the churches of Galatia:3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen.

We will Grow ? by Kendall Fox

Ephesians 4:15-16

15 but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ, 

16 from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.
