Trouble Without, Trouble Within

We wrap up the "Still Church" series by highlighting the struggles that led up to the Jerusalem conference in Acts 15—mostly the Jewish pressure on new Gentile converts to become fully Jewish in order to become “truly” Christian. The early Church was able to overcome this struggle, an internal one, as well as the external struggles of persecution by maintaining their focus on the mission of Jesus. That’s our lesson as well. How do we overcome the struggles we face as a church today? Focus on the mission.
