Acts 15

Summary

The sermon focuses on Acts 15, emphasizing the historic debate in the early church about whether Gentile believers must follow the Mosaic law, particularly circumcision, to be saved. It highlights the Jerusalem council's conclusion that salvation is by the grace of Jesus Christ alone, without additional works or legalistic requirements. The preacher underscores the sovereignty of God in salvation and the unity of the gospel message for all believers, Jew and Gentile alike. The sermon concludes with a reflection on God's sovereign restoration of true religion as prophesied in Amos.
