Summary

We trace Paul’s testimony in Galatians 1 and use it to build a simple, clear framework for sharing our own stories.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:19.8	All right. Last day of Galatians chapter one. We're going to do a bunch of
0:23.3	verses starting in verse 11. I'll read them and then unpack them. Paul says, for I would have you know,
0:28.5	brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel. For I did not receive it from any man,
0:35.3	nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation
0:38.7	of Jesus Christ. For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church
0:45.3	of God violently and tried to destroy it. And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age
0:51.8	among my people. So extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my father.
0:57.9	But when he, who had set me apart before I was born and who called me by his grace,
1:05.0	was pleased to reveal his son to me in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles. I did not immediately consult
1:13.4	with anyone, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me. But I went away
1:20.2	into Arabia and returned again to Damascus. Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to visit
1:26.3	Seifus, and I remained with him 15 days.
1:30.2	But I saw no one of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother.
1:35.5	In what I am writing to you before God, I do not lie.
1:39.5	Then I went into the region of Syria and Cilicia, and I was still unknown in person to the churches
1:45.9	of Judea that are in Christ. They only were hearing it said, he who used to persecute us,
1:53.7	is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy, and they glorified God because of me.
1:59.5	Here's what I don't want to talk about. This, Paul here, gives a version of his testimony.
2:03.6	Now, he's going to do it two other times in the book of Acts, okay?
2:07.2	Early in the book of Acts and later in the book of Acts when he's standing before King Agrippa, he gives his testimony.
2:12.7	Let me ask you this.
