Yes, the Outsiders Belong | David Johnson | Acts (2013) | June 18, 2017
from Church of the Open Door Sermon Archives · host Worship
Todays text: Acts 15:1-12, the Council at Jerusalem, where the Church elders had to decide whether Gentile converts needed to observe the Torah (particularly circumcision) in order to follow Jesus. “God, who knows the heart” – better than we do! (Dave’s translation) – has a different response to all of the “No’s” we’ve heard all our lives, and which we’ve often projected onto God. God’s answer to all of us – those who think we belong, and those who don’t – is “YES, YES, and YES, you belong!”
