Acts 15 is without a doubt one of the most important chapters of the Bible. For new or potential believers, it offers encouragement and hope. For established believers, it reminds us of our salvation and informs us in our evangelism. It also puts into context both Old and New Testaments, giving us clarity and insight in how to read and understand the whole Bible. You'd think a chapter that does all of this would be more renown and referenced, but that isn't the case. It features the Church is at a place of deep division, with the soul of the movement being on the line. In this message, we delve into the debate between Grace and Religion. The precedents established in this chapter should continue to guide the Church in our day: From what we rely on for salvation, to how we treat new believers, to how we act towards outsiders. Needless to say, Acts 15 is a required reading for every Christian.
