Acts 15: 1-17 . Council at Jerusalem; Faith Gives identity to both Jews and Gentiles
Stewardship is about sharing our times, treasures and talents and participating in the ministry and mission of the body of Christ. We are told today that no matter where you have come from, and in the case of the time of Paul and Barnabas it doesn’t matter whether you are a Gentile or a Jew, for God knows the human heart and every fellow has received the Holy Spirit, all their hearts have been cleansed by faith, not by upholding the law. Find one’s place within the body of Christ may seem overwhelming, AND yet it is as simple as asking what can I do? This was a Whole Family Worship and thus there is no recorded sermon time. It was a dramatic story with ritual annointing.
