Sometimes it's the backstory that fills in the context, giving us greater understanding. Paul wrote of his own backstory in the first chapter of his letter to the churches of Galatia. In this sermon, we'll pick up the backstory of the four churches in that region that are mentioned in Acts, and read of the gospel message, "the word of this salvation" (Acts 13:26), that Paul preached to them on his first missionary journey. This will help us understand what he wrote to them in his letter, and why.
