## About this message

What do the Challenger disaster and Peter’s dinner snub have in common? Small flaws can lead to massive fallout. In Galatians 2:11-21, Paul calls out Peter for hypocrisy—eating with Gentiles until the legalists showed up, then bailing to save face. It seemed minor, but it spread fast and undermined the gospel itself. From a neo-Nazi flyer in Canberra to a judgmental moment at the supermarket, we see how tiny choices—like adding rules or staying silent—can deny the truth that faith in Jesus, not works, saves us. Paul’s warning? If righteousness comes by law, “Christ died for nothing.” Join us as we unpack how even small compromises can crash the gospel—and what we can do about it.
