14 Years Of Running In Vain? S6e4 Gal2:2

People want to make sure Paul, 14 years after his conversion, is really a Christian.  Paul gathers the evidence and presents it to the Jerusalem church.  He accounts for the time, because he's been accused of NOT BEING A CHRISTIAN (Acts9:26) 3 years into that 14 years.  

No wonder Paul has to "give his credentials" to the Galatian believers.  It took him a long time to win the trust of the church.  Killing people has a tendency to make people look at you in a certain way.  Today Paul is filling in the blanks about that 14 years.  

• conversion in Damascus, Syria where they wanted to kill him
• 3 years in Arabia (where the Lord disciples him)
• 15 days in Jerusalem where they wanted to kill him so he is sent to 
• Tarsus for 10 years or so
• To be found there by Barnabas and Brought to Antioch, Syria for a one year stint of ministry.  It is there the church is first referred to as "Christians"
• Finally, Barnabas and Paul head back to Jerusalem with a pile of cash for famine relief

Paul defends his ministry before the "1st" missionary journey.  Did he run in vain all those years? Have I run in vain for the last 14 years?  Listen 7 minutes and find out. bewithme.us
