01. The World Turned Upside Down Pt. 3 // The Council - Matt Simmonds // Acts 15:1-21

This sermon from Acts 15 explores a pivotal moment in the early church, asking what the gospel really is and how God’s people are meant to live together. It challenges two common threats to faith today - individualism and legalism - showing that we are saved by grace alone, not by our works, and saved together as one unified people in Christ. Through the work of Jesus on the cross, believers are brought into a shared family marked by gospel unity, freedom, forgiveness, and love, and are called to maintain that unity by the power of the Holy Spirit.
