This week, we tackle one of the most pivotal proclamations in church history—salvation by grace alone. In Acts 15, the early church wrestles with a critical question: Is Jesus' grace enough, or do we need to add religious requirements? As Paul and Barnabas report how Gentiles are coming to Christ, some insist on circumcision and law-keeping for salvation. But Peter reminds them—and us—that grace can't be earned, it shows no favoritism, and it demands a response of gratitude, not religious striving.

We often create our own chains of performance—rules, expectations, or spiritual checklists. But Jesus broke every one of those chains. He set us free from trying to earn God’s love. So stop striving and start living in joyful response to His grace!

Key truth: We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus alone—no additives, no exceptions, no chains.
