In the book of Acts, Paul and Barnabas had a dispute with some Pharisees. They said that it was needful to circumcise them and to command them to keep the law of Moses. And that begins what's called the Apostles Council in the church. It is one of the most clear examples of how God directs his church through councils.
Dr. Goodman examines Paul’s missionary struggles, journeys, and the power we obtain through challenges when relying on the Lord.
