(Podcast 5.10.18) Message: “Bringing God Glorification through Saintly Unification (Part 1)” (Acts 15:1-35)

Church Unity

By: Brian G. Chilton | May 10, 2018

In The Apostle Paul and the Christian Life: Ethical and Missional Implications of the New Persective, edited by Scot McKnight and Joseph B. Modica, it was noted that God is most glorified when the church is most unified. But, how do we obtain unity when it seems that there are so many divisions that take place. In the first of two part mini-series, Pastor Brian discusses the unity that came by the Jerusalem Council (c. AD 49). Through the process, one sees that unity came by diagnosing the problems, deciphering providence (seeing what was the will of God), and delivering the pronouncement. Join us today as we discuss how God receives glorification through saintly unification.
