Gal 2:1-10. In light of opposition to his ministry, Paul demonstrates that both his apostleship and his gospel came directly from The Lord. He also shows that the apostles in Jerusalem, unlike the false teachers from there, believed the same gospel. There is only one gospel, the gospel of grace.

Tit 1:5-9. The New Testament is clear that elders are the essential leadership needed in a local church, but how do we know who is suited for such a position? Paul gives Titus a descriptive list of what a godly pastor (elder or overseer) should be and shouldn’t be in this crucial passage.
