A Letter from the Council to the Gentile Churches

Passage: Acts 15:19-35

Chapter 15 of the book of Acts is the center point of the book, we have crossed the halfway point in this book of 28 chapters. Chapter 15 is also the center point theologically and spiritually. As I pointed out last week, there is a radical shift in focus, leadership, and mission. We are turning from Jews to Gentiles, from works of the Law to grace, from James and Peter to Paul, from Jerusalem to Antioch and to the ends of the earth. In order to do all of this two important questions had to be answered and settled once for all.
