Acts 15:1-21
God at Work: The Story of Acts

This week, Pastor David dove into Acts 15, exploring how God works in surprising ways and how believers can discern and embrace these changes. The chapter features Paul and Barnabas returning to Antioch, where they encounter debates about if Gentile believers must follow Jewish customs, like circumcision, to be saved. Pastor David reflected on how sometimes believers struggle to accept new ways God is moving, just like the early church wrestled with change. We can learn from this by discerning cultural influences on our faith and focusing on the core message of faith in Jesus. Let's strive to keep our hearts open to God's movements and not let cultural barriers hinder our witness. The key takeaway is that faith in Jesus alone is what brings salvation, independent of cultural or religious practices.
