House of Prayer Church - Blairsville GA

Every church has to make decisions that affect the people of the church. Not everyone agrees with every decision. Is there a basis for how decisions are made? Are there principles that guide us in our decision-making? The conflict in the church in Antioch gives us some insight into how we can work towards unity in the church.

Main Scripture passage: Acts 15:21-29

What must someone do to be right with God? The Gospel is a simple and powerful message. Christ offers salvation through his death on the cross. Acts 15 describes one of many times that down through the ages, this message has been opposed. Many alternatives have been proposed, most with something for us to do to earn God's favor on our own. It can't be done.

God's Goodness and Our Response by HOP Blairsville

Cornelius and Peter both learn significant lessons in Acts 10. This message focuses on Cornelius' lesson. When it comes to having right standing before a holy God, being good isn't good enough.
