Summary

In this sermon on Galatians chapter 2, the pastor explores the critical question of whether we define the gospel or allow the gospel to define us, addressing the contemporary tendency to "upscale" or reinterpret Scripture to fit current cultural norms. Using the metaphor of repurposing old items, the sermon warns against distorting the gospel to please human audiences, emphasizing Paul's strong warning that altering the gospel's fundamental message is spiritually dangerous. The key takeaway is that the gospel's truth is unchanging and should shape our understanding, rather than being reshaped by human preferences or cultural pressures.
