Podcasts about Acts 15

Trust the Slow Work of GodActs 15:36-41Teacher: Matt PiersonDate: August 23, 2026What should we do when the unthinkable happens, and a relationship we thought was rock solid and indestructible explodes into a thousand pieces? What do repentance and forgiveness look like when we can't even agree to disagree? What hope is there for healing, forgiveness, and reconciliation? Join Pastor Matt as we look at Acts 15:36-41 and consider the broken relationship of Paul and Barnabas, and how God continued to work through them, despite their differences.Support the showTo find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

Is Grace Really EnoughActs 15:1-35Teacher: Pastor Jim ThomasDate: August 16, 2026We live in a world that runs on performance. Your value is your output. Your worth is your record. Your acceptance depends on what you've achieved, what you've avoided, and whether your résumé — moral, professional, spiritual — is good enough to get you through the door. Most of us have absorbed this logic so deeply that we've brought it straight into our relationship with God without even noticing. We believe in grace. We just don't quite trust that it's enough.The Jerusalem Council of Acts 15 was called to settle exactly that question. And what the apostles declared in that room is the verdict the church has spent two thousand years preaching and defending, but occasionally almost giving away. Is grace really enough? Not enough to get you started, with your effort taking over from there. Not enough for most people, with exceptions for the especially bad. Enough. Completely. Finally. Full stop enough.Support the showTo find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

Series: ACTS | Living With A Missional Edge | Greg Linz • 8.16.26

In Acts 15 the early church faces a deadly internal threat as sincere men demand circumcision and the law be added to faith in Christ—yet Peter, Paul, Barnabas, and James stand firm that God has already cleansed Gentile hearts by faith alone and that salvation is through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as it is for the Jews. In this message, we are confronted by every quiet addition we still make—performance, culture, secondary convictions, or religious ladders—and shows that the free gospel is the narrow pass that must be held at all costs if the nations are ever to hear it. You will see how Scripture, not experience or preference, has the final word, how wisdom protects unity without loading new burdens, and how clarity on grace produces deep joy and renewed mission. Will you fight to keep the gospel unmixed and free, or will you keep rebuilding the yoke Christ has already shattered at the cross?

Reading Acts 15:13-21 where after Peter speaks, and Paul and Barnabas gave their testimonies, James stands up to give his counsel as to what should be said to the Gentile Christians. Visit wwutt.com for all our videos!

Reading Acts 15:6-12 where Peter stands up at the Jerusalem Council and testifies to the gospel of Christ going out to the Gentiles, a gospel that is to be received by faith. Visit wwutt.com for all our videos!

Sermons, August 2026, Acts, Church on the Move, Missions, Pastor Ray Fowler

Reader: Bek Hudson Preacher: Jonathan Smith The Jerusalem Council was the first big test of the early church's beliefs. There were some Jewish Christians who believed that to be saved you also had to be circumcised and to follow the law of Moses. After much debate, the decision was reached that salvation only comes through faith in Jesus Christ and nothing else. This fundamental truth is one of the pillars that the Christian faith is built upon. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia.
We exist to be a community of people helping people make all
of life all about Jesus.

Kristina and Elissa discuss the very first council of the Church — it's the model of how the Church solves its disagreements. Hint: it's all about the Holy Spirit!

Reading Acts 15:1-5 where a bunch of Judaizers told the Gentiles they must be circumcized in order to be saved, and how this problem was brought to the apostles in Jerusalem. Visit wwutt.com for all our videos!

Send us Fan MailDr. R. L. Solberg and David Wilber debated Acts 15 and one of the most important questions in Christian theology: Did the apostle's decision at the Jerusalem Council require Gentile believers to keep the Law of Moses? Wilber argues in the affirmative, Solberg in the negative. Both participants present their cases in a semi-formal and civil debate format. The goal isn't to "score points" but to help believers understand Acts 15 by hearing both sides presented fairly.#livestream#debate#apologeticsWhat if Christmas felt sacred again?

Solberg examines Acts 15 in context and responds to the interpretation presented by 119 Ministries. We carefully compare their claims with the biblical text and ask a simple but important question: Where does the text actually say that?Together we'll examine three major claims about Acts 15, including whether the Jerusalem Council addressed one issue or two, whether the four prohibitions were intended as a "starter pack" for full Torah observance, and whether Gentile believers were expected to learn the Law of Moses through weekly synagogue attendance.If you're interested in the Hebrew Roots Movement, Torah observance, the Jerusalem Council, or how to interpret Acts 15 faithfully and in its historical context, this study is for you.119 Ministries' Video:https://119ministries.com/teachings/video-teachings/detail/acts-15-explained-did-the-apostles-reject-the-torah-for-gentiles/The Biblical Roots MinistriesOur websiteOur YouTube ChannelProf. Solberg's BlogSupport our Ministry (Thank you!)Chapters00:00 Introduction03:09 Overview of the Jerusalem Council04:33 Two Separate Issues13:39 Two Separate Responses 18:21 The Starter Pack Theory27:59 Learning the Law in Synagogues38:59 Wrap it up, Solberg.#bookofacts   #hebrewroots  #119Ministries #biblestudy  #apologetics #torahobservant SUPPORT OUR MINISTRYhttps://TheBiblicalRoots.org/support (Thank you!)OUR LINKShttps://linktr.ee/thebiblicalroots

 Acts 15:13-19 - Things to Come - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Acts2026/a1466.pdf

The Rev. Dr. Roger Paavola gives today's sermonette based on Acts 15:22-41. Hear a guest pastor give a short sermonette based on the day's Daily Lectionary New Testament text during Morning and Evening Prayer. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Jesus directs the word's advance, overcoming conflicts and weaker brother barriers to plant and strengthen churches in more places. If CMC follows his lead, we will consider gospel advance and church-strengthening more important than our differences with one another.

Two great missionaries get into an argument sharp enough to end their partnership, and the subject is whether to give a young man named Mark a second chance. Out of that painful split, two mission teams go out instead of one, and the work spreads further than it would have. God keeps building his church through imperfect people and even through their disagreements. This episode is honest medicine for anyone who has watched a falling-out in the family of faith.  The Rev. Dan Torkelson, pastor of Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Madison, WI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 15:36-16:15.  To learn more about Mount Olive Lutheran, visit molc.us. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen. He has ascended. And now what? Acts answers that question. Luke tells the story of how the Holy Spirit built the Church from a handful of frightened disciples in Jerusalem into a movement that reached Rome itself. Along the way, you get Pentecost, the first sermons, the first martyrs, the conversion of Paul, the first church councils, shipwrecks, riots, and the persistent, stubborn work of God through Word and Sacrament even when His people didn't have a plan. If you've ever wondered how we got from Easter morning to the Church you sit in today, this is the book. Tune in for this new series on Thy Strong Word with Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors as we open up the Book of Acts.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

Acts 15 Bible study.The early church faced a crucial question that would define the future of Christianity: Is faith in Jesus enough, or do Christians need to follow a set of rules to be saved? This debate nearly divided the church.

The first major fight in the church came down to a single question: is grace really enough? Some insisted that new Gentile believers had to take on the old law to truly belong, but the apostles land squarely on the gospel: we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are. Every generation finds new ways to add requirements to the finished work of Christ, and this chapter keeps pulling us back. It is a study for anyone who has ever quietly feared they have not done enough to be accepted by God.  The Rev. Dr. Adam Filipek, pastor of Holy Cross and Immanuel Lutheran Churches in Lidgerwood, ND, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 15:1-35.  To learn more about Holy Cross and Immanuel Lutheran Churches, visit hcilc.com. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen.

Is it okay for followers of Jesus to disagree? Why did Paul and Barnabas disagree? How can we face disagreement with another follower of Jesus in a way that honors them and God? In this episode, Emma Dotter unpacks Acts 15:36-41 and answers the question, “How do we disagree in a way that protects both truth and love?” She gives listeners questions to consider when walking through disagreement with another believer and how to invite God into it. // ADDITIONAL VERSES MENTIONED: Acts 13: 13; Colossians 4: 10; James 1 // RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES:  “S4:263 – Introduction to the book of Acts” (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...)   “S4:269 – Acts 15-17” (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3NShJvbx2EPozwMwxJq2Hm?si=98ac89d64476429c)   “Episode 204: Acts 15” (https://open.spotify.com/episode/1C4nPaR3RZjQlAN7nYyAX6?si=2d16480ac3b34d66) // WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY? Join The Journey is a realistic daily Bible reading plan that helps followers of Jesus at Watermark Community Church and beyond enjoy abiding in Jesus together.

This week, Wes leads us in prayer for three things: that we would be careful and gracious in how we communicate, that we would listen to the Spirit, and that we would be eager to seek peace and reconciliation with whom we are in conflict.

Acts 15 reminds us that God is still at work in unfinished people. Even in the middle of conflict between Paul and Barnabas, God continued advancing His mission and redeeming John Mark's story. Rather than defining ourselves or others by a single failure or season, we're invited to see every story through the lens of God's redeeming grace, trusting that he is faithful to complete the work he has begun.

For another year, teaching on Sunday will align with each week's passage. Then, for the next six days, we'll return to the same passage with fresh focus, exploring insights about who God is and how we can enjoy him more deeply. Monday through Saturday, we'll approach the same passage from a different perspective each day—whether observation, interpretation, prayer, or another spiritual practice—to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for God's Word. Then, watch or listen to the video podcast to tackle the week's toughest verses and discover key historical, theological, and practical insights. Daily Bible lessons for adults: https://jointhejourney.com Daily Bible lessons for parents and families: https://jointhejourney.com/jr Weekly Bible podcast for kids: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...  // MORE RESOURCES FROM JOIN THE JOURNEY:  Digital Bible study resources: https://jointhejourney.com/resources Previous years' print curriculum: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Waterma...

Acts 15 is the hinge point of the entire book of Acts. In this talk, Thomas Barr explains the Jerusalem Council and the one question that changes everything: How can I be saved? Through the debate between early church leaders, we discover that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, and why that matters more than we realize. Whether you're carrying shame, striving for approval, or wondering if you're “good enough” for God, this message is for you.
