The Jerusalem Council

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of grace and the importance of unity in our faith journey. The central focus is on Acts 15, where the early church grappled with the question of Gentile inclusion. This pivotal moment teaches us about discerning disputes, declaring the gospel, and defending unity. We're challenged to examine our own beliefs and practices, ensuring we're not adding unnecessary burdens to the simple truth of salvation through grace alone. The story of Paul and Barnabas's journey to the Jerusalem Council serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of theological disagreement, our primary focus should be on sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to consider how we can maintain unity in our own faith communities while staying true to the core message of the gospel.
