The Jerusalem Council

Summary

The sermon explores Acts 15, focusing on the Jerusalem Council's resolution of the controversy regarding Gentile believers and the necessity of circumcision and adherence to the Mosaic Law for salvation. It highlights the apostles' and elders' decision that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by works of the law, emphasizing unity and peace in the early church. The message underscores the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy in Christ and the inclusion of Gentiles in God's salvation plan without requiring them to become Jews first.
