This week we are in the midst of Paul’s second missionary trip. We’ll see how the Holy Spirit leads him and his team to Philippi in Macedonia. There we’ll look at his ministry with Silas.

Palmer St. Podcast: Acts 15:35 – 16:5
This week we transition into Paul’s second missionary trip. It starts with a brief controversy with Barnabas over the need to bring along John Mark. It ends with the ministry multiplied as Mark and Barnabas go one way while Paul and Silas go another. Timothy is then shortly added to the team. We’ll close with a few principles for multiplying ministry.

Palmer St. Podcast: Acts 15 Part 3
This ends our three-part sereis on Acts 15. In the first part we looked at legalism; in the second we dealt with idolatry. In this section we’ll talk about sexual immorality – something the early church felt a need to specifically address.
Palmer St. Podcast: Acts 15 Part 2
Last week we looked at the decision of the Jerusalem council, which determined that the non-Jews who were now coming into the church didn’t have to become Jews in order to become Christians. This was a very important decision and essentially ruled out all forms of legalism or works-based merit before God. We examined legalism and the difference between that and a biblical faith which leads to good works.
This week we will look at idolatry – one of the things the council wanted to emphasize to the Gentiles as prohibited. They rightly assumed that non-Jews would need to learn that the God of the Bible is not to be worshiped with idols.
