How Should the Church Handle Hard Disagreements?

Have you ever watched a disagreement tear a church apart and wondered — is there a better way? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster takes us into Acts 15:18-31 (KJV) and the Jerusalem Council, where early church leaders faced one of the most heated debates in Christian history. You will learn how James led with wisdom, how the apostles responded to false teaching with truth and accountability, and why the church at Antioch rejoiced when the letter finally arrived. Handling conflict God's way brings unity, not division. Subscribe to Words From The Word wherever you listen to podcasts.

Can Traditions Block Someone From Being Saved?

Can a tradition — even a religious one — get in the way of someone receiving salvation? That is the question at the heart of Acts 15:1-35 (KJV), and it is just as relevant today as it was in the early church. In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster walks through the Jerusalem Council, where Peter, Paul, Barnabas, and James each stood up to defend the grace of God for all people. You will learn how the apostles handled church conflict with Scripture, why adding requirements to the gospel is dangerous, and how God's plan to include every nation was always His design. A timely reminder to hold tradition loosely and the Word firmly. Subscribe to Words From The Word wherever you listen to podcasts.

Are You Trusting the Law or the Grace of Christ?

Are you trying to earn what God has already given freely through Christ? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through Galatians 2:11-21 (KJV) and the powerful confrontation between Paul and Peter at Antioch. You will learn why Peter's hypocrisy was dangerous, how peer pressure can compromise even mature believers, and why placing your trust in law-keeping instead of the grace of Christ empties the cross of its meaning. Pastor Webster also sets the stage for the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, which will be covered in the next devotion. Subscribe to Words From The Word wherever you listen to podcasts.

Did Jesus Really Include You? What Ephesians 2 Says

Have you ever wondered if you truly belong — if God really included someone like you? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster explores Ephesians 2:11 (KJV) and unpacks the deep social and spiritual divisions that existed in the early church. You will learn why true circumcision is a matter of the heart, not the flesh, and how the grace of God through Christ Jesus breaks down every barrier between people. Pastor Webster also draws from John 17, Romans 2, and Colossians 3 to show that in Christ, unity is not just possible — it is God's design.

The One Mistake Christians Make About Good Works

Are you trying to earn what God has already freely given? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster tackles one of the most misunderstood topics in the Christian life — the role of works in salvation and in the saved life. Drawing from Galatians 2, Galatians 3, Hebrews 6, and Ephesians 2 in the KJV, Pastor Webster makes it clear that while no work can produce salvation, true salvation will always produce good works. You will learn why the law cannot justify, what the works of the flesh look like, and how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to walk in the good works God prepared for them.

Can Your Bad Works Undo What Grace Already Did?

Can your bad works undo what grace already did? That is the question Pastor Roderick Webster tackles in this powerful daily devotion from Words From The Word, drawing from Romans 3, Romans 4, Romans 11, Galatians 2, 2 Timothy 1, and Titus 3 in the King James Version. You might be asking: If I was not saved by my good works, can I be lost by my bad works? Does God require me to earn or maintain my salvation? Why could Abraham not boast before God? What does it really mean to be justified by faith? In this episode, Pastor Webster walks through the Scriptures to show: - Justification comes through faith, not the works of the law, as confirmed in Romans 4 and Galatians 2:16 - Grace and works are mutually exclusive — if it is grace, it cannot be works, and if it is works, it cannot be grace - Abraham's faith, not his performance, was counted as righteousness - No flesh can glory before God — all boasting belongs to Christ alone - Salvation is unto good works, not salvation by good works If you have ever wondered whether your failures could cancel your salvation, this devotion is for you.

Are You Saved by Works or by Grace?

Have you ever felt like you need to do more to deserve God's love? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster walks through Ephesians 2:7-8 (KJV) to remind us that salvation has never been about what we do — it is entirely about what God has done. You will learn why grace means God does it all for Jesus' sake, why faith is not a work but a response of trust, and why Jesus declaring "It is finished" on the cross means no one can add to or take away from your salvation. A comforting and gospel-rooted word for anyone who needs reassurance today. Subscribe to Words From The Word wherever you listen to podcasts.
