Bible Study- Acts 15 - The Question of Adding the Law onto Gentiles

Summary

The sermon explores Acts 15, focusing on the early church's debate about whether Gentile believers must follow the Mosaic Law, particularly circumcision, to be saved. It highlights the conflict between Paul, Barnabas, and certain Judaizers, the Jerusalem council's decision led by Peter and James, and the affirmation that salvation is by grace through faith, not law-keeping. The resolution included a letter to Gentile believers outlining minimal requirements, emphasizing unity and freedom in Christ. The sermon also touches on Paul and Barnabas's subsequent missionary journeys and their disagreement over John Mark.
