Council of Jerusalem

Council of Jerusalem

 

The first “business meeting” of the early church is found in Acts 15.

Home Activities:

  • Role play the council with Peter, Paul, and James. 
  • Do you have a family decision to make this week? Have a family “council” and pattern it after the Jerusalem Council.  Is everyone satisfied with the decision?  Was Paul fully satisfied either?  How do families and the church make decisions?

Prayer: Lord, guide us in every decision we make, just as You have guided your Church.
