About this episode
Pastor Jeremy Schell discusses the nature of salvation through grace as illustrated in Acts 15 and the story of John Newton.
In this powerful message from Acts 15, Pastor Jeremy Schell explores one of the most important questions in Christianity: What actually saves us? Through the story of the Jerusalem Council, the early church wrestles with whether salvation comes through religious works or through the grace of Jesus Christ alone. Using the remarkable story of John Newton, the former slave ship captain who wrote Amazing Grace, Pastor Jeremy reveals how God's grace transforms lives, removes shame, and unites people under the gospel.
