We Are The Church – The Book Of Acts Part 2 – Week 4 “Common Gospel”

When opinions clash, traditions collide, and generations misunderstand each other, what holds us together?

The common ground is the —and the Gospel is .

1. FAMILY CONFLICT IS INEVITABLE—BUT DIVISION IS

Acts 15:1-2 NIV  

2. THE GOSPEL IS THE GREAT

Acts 15:7–11 NIV

The Gospel Truth: Salvation has never been about effort—it’s always been about

The Solas are five Latin phrases summarizing core theological convictions of the 16th-century Protestant Reformation, distinguishing reformers’ beliefs from Roman Catholic doctrine regarding salvation and authority. They emphasize that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, based on Scripture alone, for God’s glory alone. 

3. UNITY FLOWS WHEN WE FOCUS ON THE AND THE FAMILY.

Acts 15:19–21 NIV 

James speaks and says something powerful: “We should not make it difficult for those who are turning to God.”

4. LET US AROUND COMMON GROUND!

Ephesians 4:3-6 NIV 

We don’t all:

• Think the same

• Worship the same

• Prefer the same

• Express faith in the same

But we are saved the same way: By Grace Alone…Through Faith Alone…In Chris Alone!

So let’s:

• Be teachable if we’re young

• Be tender if we’re seasoned

• Stop dividing over non-essentials

The common ground is:

Not age…Not style…Not tradition…Not preference.

The common ground is the Gospel—and His Name is JESUS!
