Listen in as Gregg DeMey (lead pastor), Jeff Klein (pastor of outreach), and Caryn Rivadeneira (director of care and worship planning) wade into the arguments of Acts 15 and the ways we still preach “Jesus and…” on salvation issues.

Summary:
Acts 11:19-Acts 12 may start out with something like a newscast but like most stories in the Book of Acts, it quickly takes a wild turn. Listen in as Gregg DeMey (Lead Pastor), Jeff Klein (Pastor of Outreach), and Caryn Rivadeneira (Director of Care and Worship Planning) wade into what this passage has to tell us about angel behavior and appearances, the power of normal people, and what it means to be a Christian in America.

Summary:
In Acts 10-11 we've got more visions and trances and words from the Lord -- including, "Go, kill and eat!" Those words may have been bad news for the "unclean" animals but great news for the "unclean" among us. Gregg Demey (Lead Pastor), Caryn Rivadeneira (Director of Care and Worship Planning), and Peter "Rev" Semeyn (Pastor Emeritus) wade into all things "clean" and "unclean" and how Peter's vision speaks to us today.
