The Jerusalem Council: Confronting False Teachings and Embracing the GospelPastor Josh from Middletown Baptist Church explores Acts chapter 15, focusing on the Jerusalem Council's handling of false teachings brought by Judaizers. These false teachers claimed that Gentile believers needed to adhere to the Law of Moses to be saved. Pastor Josh emphasizes the importance of adhering to salvation by faith alone, free from the burdens of tradition and legalism. He calls for believers to evaluate their own adherence to traditions versus the truth of the gospel, underscoring the need for unity and reliance on God's Word.00:00 Welcome and Introduction00:27 Setting the Scene: Acts Chapter 1501:33 The Jerusalem Council: Addressing False Teachings02:23 Paul and Barnabas: Defending the Gospel03:37 The Danger of Adding to the Gospel18:57 Peter's Stand: Recalling God's Word29:16 Faith Alone: The Core Message29:43 Walking in the Spirit vs. Lusts of the Flesh30:33 Jesus' Yoke: A Lesson from Matthew 1131:24 The Law and Its Purpose33:06 Peter's Perspective on the Yoke of Bondage33:47 The Greatest Commandment: Love God and Neighbor35:00 The Heart of the Matter: Judging and Phariseeism36:12 The Gospel and Church Traditions43:06 Theology Matters: Living Out Your Beliefs46:48 Concluding Thoughts and PrayerThank you for joining our podcast.
