Sermon Title: The Yoke of Grace
Text: Acts 15:6–21
What the Apostles Declared (Acts 15:6–11)The apostles confront the burden of legalism and proclaim that both Jew and Gentile are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus.
What God Demonstrated (Acts 15:12)The gathered church listens as evidence is given of God’s work among the Gentiles.
What Scripture Directs (Acts 15:13–21)James appeals to the prophets, showing that the inclusion of the nations was always part of God’s redemptive plan.
Central Question:
What yoke are you carrying?
Christ invites sinners to lay down the crushing burden of self-righteousness and receive His yoke, which is easy and light.
