Then they said to Paul: \u201cYou see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law. 21They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs. 22What shall we do? They will certainly hear that you have come, 23so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow. 24Take these men, join in their purification rites and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law. 25As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.\u201d<br \/>\n26The next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he went to the temple to give notice of the date when the days of purification would end and the offering would be made for each of them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ACTion 2021 \u2013 Jerusalem 2021 Church Theme: One Heart, One Mission Scripture: Acts 21:17-26 (NIV) Speaker: Aaron Garcia Acts 21:17-26 (NIV) Paul\u2019s Arrival at Jerusalem 17When we arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers and sisters received us warmly. 18The next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James, and all the elders were &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mgc.ca\/YM\/sermon20210711\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;ACTion 2021 \u2013 Jerusalem&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2021-sermon","category-mr-aaron-garcia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mgc.ca\/YM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mgc.ca\/YM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mgc.ca\/YM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mgc.ca\/YM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mgc.ca\/YM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=704"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.mgc.ca\/YM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":709,"href":"https:\/\/www.mgc.ca\/YM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704\/revisions\/709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mgc.ca\/YM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mgc.ca\/YM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mgc.ca\/YM\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
