Conflict comes to the Church in Acts 15 and the great debate over grace versus law is taken to a council in Jerusalem to be debated. Must the Gentiles be circumcised and keep the Law to be saved?

Using Galatians as the background for this debate Pastor Stoos shows how the early church was not afraid of honest debate and followed the wisdom of this first council. He goes on to show how their letter to the Gentiles should continue to challenge and encourage us today.
