What happens when people from radically different cultures try to follow Jesus together? That’s the challenge the early church faced in Acts 15—and it’s one we still wrestle with today.Some Jewish Christians believed Gentiles had to adopt all their traditions to truly belong. Others, like Paul and Barnabas, insisted that salvation is by grace alone. At the heart of the conflict was this question: how do we build one church family out of people with different customs, values, and backgrounds?In this message, we explore the Jerusalem Council’s surprising decision—and what it means for our church today. You'll discover how the gospel calls us to embrace discomfort, lay down personal preferences, and make space at the table for people who aren’t just like us. Because real unity doesn’t come from sameness—it comes from love.For more information about our church community, or to partner with us, go to www.creekside.cc.
