    The Simplicity of God’s Grace Acts 15:1-21 Intro: Life can seem pretty complicated.

    True Freedom Series

     | 6,099 views

    We are called to live in freedom, freedom not to live for ourselves, but freedom to follow Christ.

    What comes to your mind when I say the word "freedom?" Freedom from slavery, freedom from hunger, freedom from poverty, or freedom from tyranny? Many of us would say freedom from sin. The Bible is clear when we trust in Jesus, and believe he took our sins upon himself on the cross and died so ...read more

    This message continues in my expository series through the book of Acts.

    We have now reached the very center of the book of Acts, not only in the obvious sense that with 28 chapters, we are halfway through, but also in the sense that this is the turning-point chapter of the book. The Jerusalem council, which we read about today, took place in approximately 49 AD, and ...read more

    To BE or NOT to be. This is a question we all must answer. But to BE, where does it all BE-gin? In One word...BE-LIEVE!

    Defining The Gospel

     | 2,855 views

    We know the word gospel means good news. Is the good news that Jesus made some sort of down payment for the salvation of sinners, or did He pay it all? That’s the very question that had to be answered in the first century church of Antioch, and that’s t

    The word “gospel” means good news. We know the heart of the gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, but what exactly is the good news about that? Is it that Jesus did what He did as sort of a down payment, and then we have to keep up the installments of our salvation by doing ...read more

    The Bible teaches that we are saved by God’s grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. However, we must beware the spirit of the Pharisee, because they will try to keep you from experiencing God’s grace.

    SUPERNATURAL #16: GOD’S AMAZING GRACE OPENING STORY: “I heard (this story) from a friend who works with the down-and-out in Chicago: A prostitute came to me in wretched straits, homeless, sick, unable to buy food for her two-year-old daughter.

     | 4,602 views

    Whether your dispute is with another believer or with a whole church, there are vital lessons to handling conflict contained in Acts 15. Learn how to find God’s will, keep your integrity, and still be a family.

    Raise your hand if you have ever had a dispute with another Christian. Hopefully we all raised our hands because if we have never had a dispute then we are not really actively plugged into the body life in Jesus. Disputes occur for a number of reasons, some good, some bad. Often disputes come from ...read more

    Struggles to understand the truth of the gospel are not new. The early church record reveals how they also faced and overcame crisis moments.

    Acts 15 tells about the Jerusalem council where the church leaders struggled to deal with an issue that was splitting the early church. If we study carefully this account we see several principles for facing and dealing with issues that can help us today. First let’s read some background, then we ...read more

    WHAT WE BELIEVE Acts 15: 11 But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. It’s what we believe that makes us what we are. What we say tells all of what we are. Where we go tells who we are. The main thing is ...read more

    Christianity is all about a relationship with Jesus, and it is purely by grace. Its end is not salvation but fellowship with God.

    If someone were to walk up to you and ask you out of the blue, “How can I be saved?” what would you say? • Would you know how to answer him? What is the one thing that you would tell him? • You need to know. Your answer will determine where he spends ...read more
