Confrontation in Antioch

Conflict is a normal part of relationships in this sinful, broken world. It might surprise us to think of the Apostles Peter and Paul clashing. We must realize that these men were like us in many ways, but we should also strive to stand for the gospel as they did. In this lesson, Dr. Thomas describes the substance of the conflict between these Apostles and why Paul so firmly confronted Peter in Antioch. There is much to be learned from these men about the importance of getting the gospel right and how easily we can be tempted and face failure.
