This sermon from Acts 15 explores the early church's handling of controversy regarding Gentile salvation and the subsequent disagreement between Paul and Barnabas. Pastor Jeff addresses how believers should handle disagreements within the church, emphasizing that unity should always be our aim while recognizing that God can work even through conflict. It challenges Christians to lay down personal rights and preferences out of love for one another, to avoid romanticizing the early church, and to remain grateful for the imperfect community God has given us rather than pursuing an idealized vision that breeds division.
