A look at how the first church council's debate in Acts 15:1-21 over the circumcision of Gentiles can help us with the questions "why do we need salvation?," "who can be saved?," and "how are we saved?" Along the way Eugene tackles an oft-asked question: "can gay persons be saved?" The sermon wraps up with looking at how the first church council can model a way for Christians to disagree. 38:15 minutes (6.57 MB)
Continuing in the same vein as last week, Eugene continues to look at the question of salvation, this time tackling the question of "what are the marks of salvation?" The passage points to the answer being presence and fruit of the Holy Spirit. Also tackled is the importance of not flying solo when it comes to leadership in the church. 38:15 minutes (6.57 MB)
