Acts 15 | Problem, Promise and Practice | Welcome Church, Woking
In this message, Meg explores Acts 15, showing that salvation is a gift of grace through faith in Jesus—not a legalistic set of rules we must assemble. Addressing the dispute over Gentile converts, she highlights three essential principles for living out the gospel in a diverse church:
- Choose the gospel over culture: Distinguish core biblical truths from personal preferences or traditions, keeping grace at the center.
- Choose unity over freedoms: Voluntarily yield personal rights out of love to preserve fellowship across different backgrounds.
- Choose Scripture and the Spirit over trends: Rely on God’s Word and guidance to guard against legalism and subtle distractions.
Ultimately, salvation depends entirely on grace, and true Christian unity comes from resting in Jesus rather than enforcing rigid conformity.
