Acts 15 records the Jerusalem Council’s ruling on Gentile believers, circumcision, and the Torah. This episode walks through the dispute, James’s use of Amos, the four prohibitions, and why “Moses is read every Sabbath” matters for discipleship today.
 
Show Notes:
We explore how the apostles affirmed salvation by grace while providing a practical on-ramp to fellowship for Gentiles. Topics: the party of the Pharisees (15:5), Peter’s testimony, the Apostolic Decree’s four prohibitions, and Acts 15:21 as the roadmap for ongoing instruction and growth.
 
Scripture Highlights (4–6):
Acts 15:1–21; Amos 9:11–12 (cited in Acts 15); Genesis 17:10–14; Leviticus 17–18; Matthew 5:17–19; 1 Corinthians 5:8
 
Takeaway (one sentence):
Acts 15 upholds salvation by grace and a Torah-shaped path of discipleship for all believers.

Is the Torah an unbearable yoke? In this episode, we examine Acts 15:10 and the Jerusalem Council to discover what Peter was really addressing. Was the issue Torah obedience—or salvation by works?
 
Scriptures referenced include Acts 15:1–21, Acts 13:38–39, Deuteronomy 30:11, Psalm 19:7–10, Psalm 119:97, Luke 1:5–6, and James 1:25.
 
Salvation comes through the grace of the Lord Yeshua, while obedience remains an important part of discipleship and faithful living.

What happens when modern theology interrupts Yeshua mid-sermon? This short skit puts common claims about the Law directly into Matthew 5—and lets Scripture answer them.

Scriptures
Matthew 5:17–19
 Psalm 119:160
 Ecclesiastes 1:4
 Isaiah 40:8
 John 14:15

Takeaway
Yeshua didn’t speak in riddles. If heaven and earth are still here, His words still stand. Obedience isn’t temporary—it’s part of faith.

What is true repentance? Scripture calls us not just to feel sorry—but to return to covenant obedience. In this teaching, we explore the biblical foundation of teshuvah, why repentance is essential to the Gospel, and how turning back to God's commandments leads to life. Yeshua called us to repent. The apostles preached it. The prophets cried out for it.
 
It’s time to return—and live.

What did the apostles actually require of Gentile believers in Acts 15? This teaching examines the Apostolic Decree as an introduction to Torah, showing how the four prohibitions connect to holiness, idolatry, sexual morality, and the food laws.
We also consider whether these commands were temporary or intended for all believers, and why Acts 15:21 matters so much for understanding the apostles’ expectations.

Scriptures:
Acts 15:19-21; Acts 15:28-29; Acts 21:25; Leviticus 17:10-14; Leviticus 18:1-30; 1 Corinthians 10:18-22

Takeaway:
The Apostolic Decree was not a minimal end point, but a gracious starting point for Gentile believers turning to God. As believers hear Moses proclaimed, they are expected to grow in holiness and obedience.
