In this 13th lesson in the series, Bill reviews the events of the important meeting of key church leaders and teachers in Jerusalem. The church is very new in its establishment following Christ's death and resurrection, and changes made people joyous and eager, or terrified and uncertain. This meeting helped to clarify the major changes and allowed the church's growth to continue. In chapter 12, the stirring of persecution by civil and Jewish leaders continued to grow, putting pressure on the apostles to curtail or quit their preaching. Of course, that did not stop the courageous believers.
