- 0:01Hello. Welcome to the No Guy Coach
- 0:03Tuttle for January 14, 2026.
- 0:06Your twominute call from God's playbook
- 0:09to know him better so we can love and
- 0:11obey him more. Let's hear today's play
- 0:13from Acts 15, which says, "Some men came
- 0:17down from Judah to Antioch and began
- 0:20teaching the brothers, you can't be
- 0:22saved unless you undergo circumcision in
- 0:25the manner prescribed by Moses." So why
- 0:28are you putting God to the test now by
- 0:30placing a yoke on the neck of the
- 0:32disciples which neither our fathers nor
- 0:35we have had the strength to bear? No,
- 0:38it's through the love of kindness of the
- 0:40Lord Jesus that we trust and are
- 0:42delivered. And it's the same with them.
- 0:45In Acts 15, we read about the
- 0:47controversy in the early church. Some
- 0:50men were telling the new believers, "You
- 0:52can't be saved unless you undergo
- 0:53circumcision like the law of Moses
- 0:55requires." And Peter responded by asking
- 0:57them why put God to the test. Salvation
- 1:00comes through the love and kindness of
- 1:02Jesus alone. Think about that. Even
- 1:05after walking with Jesus for years, the
- 1:08Jewish believers struggle to accept that
- 1:10Gentiles could belong to God's family
- 1:13without first adopting all the customs
- 1:15of Israel. And isn't that a temptation
- 1:18for us as well? We want to earn God's
- 1:21love through our work, our giving, our
- 1:23obedience. But God says, "No, you are
- 1:26loved. You are accepted. You are
- 1:28forgiven. All because of what Jesus has
- 1:31done for you." Obedience is still
- 1:33important, but it's not the way to earn
- 1:36God favor. It's the fruit of a heart
- 1:38transformed by his grace. The gospel is
- 1:42simple. Repent, believe, trust in Jesus,
- 1:45and live in his freedom. When we try to
- 1:48add requirements, rules, or rituals
- 1:50beyond faith, we distort the gospel and
- 1:53undermine God's kindness. Run today's
- 1:57play. Reflect. Are you trusting God's
- 1:59love? Are you still trying to earn it?
- 2:01Repent. Let go of any legalism we're
- 2:04striving to perform for God's favor.
- 2:07Act, rest in Jesus's sacrifice, and walk
- 2:11in obedience out of gratitude and not
- 2:13obligation. And share. encourage another
- 2:17man to trust in grace alone through
- 2:18faith alone. Teach that faith not works
- 2:21brings eternal life. Men, God calls us
- 2:24to receive his kindness, trust his
- 2:26grace, and live boldly in the freedom of
- 2:29his love. Let today be a day where you
- 2:31step fully into that freedom and let
- 2:34Christ's work define your life. If this
- 2:37huddle helps you to know God better so
- 2:39you can love and obey him more, leave a
- 2:41quick review and share it with a friend
- 2:43that helps other men on their way into
- 2:45the huddle.
