Acts 15

Here's how the study works:
Read the chapter mentioned in the heading several times during the week and share any words, thoughts, verses that stood out to you. Having a week for a chapter creates the opportunity to reread it several times and make additional comments as you feel inclined as well as make comments on other people's insights.

v.9 He made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith.

God doesn't check our ethnicity or our status or our background. He checks our hearts for faith.

v.28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements.

In a book full of miraculous events and prophesies, we get to the place where they need to make a crucial decision. Yet there are no "words of knowledge", no miraculous signs, but a simple "it seemed good".

God expects us we be able to discuss, listen and make decisions in community.
