Acts 14:24-15:35 As followers of Jesus Christ, how can we know what doctrines/practices are non-negotiables for us and which ones are okay to compromise on? In Acts 15, we see the early church wrestling with this very question, as Jewish believers in Antioch begin teaching that circumcision is required for the salvation of Gentiles. In […]
Acts 13:13-52 What do we need to do to ensure that we win the spiritual “gold medal” when we stand before God?
