In this powerful exploration of Acts 15, we discover how the early church navigated its first major identity crisis when cultural traditions clashed with God’s expanding work. Pastor Andrew connects the Jerusalem Council’s decision-making process to our contemporary challenges, revealing how resurrection people approach barriers—not by erasing all distinctives or creating rigid boundaries, but through thoughtful discernment. Drawing parallels from civil rights history and Wesley’s “catholic spirit,” this message invites us to examine which traditions truly foster community and which inadvertently exclude others. Perfect for anyone navigating institutional change, family transitions, or seeking to create more inclusive communities where God’s barrier-breaking love can flourish.
