Acts 15 describes a critically important chapter in the 1st century church as conflict threatened to divide believers and cripple their evangelistic witness. The turmoil revolved around whether Gentiles could be saved and if so, what must they do to obtain eternal life. One of the ways God gave clarity and restored unity came through the telling of personal testimonies. As Peter, Paul and Barnabas shared real life experiences of God's work upon Gentile hearts, church leaders saw more clearly the broader scope of God's mercy. In a sense, personal testimonies saved the day!
What God did through testimonies in the 1st Century, He does today in the 21st. For that reason, we have set aside every Lord's Supper Sunday to hear the testimonies of three of our members who have encountered God's grace in very real and personal ways. Following our testimonies, Pastor Jeff leads us in observing the Lord's Supper.
