About This Message
Pastor Addison preaches from Acts 11:19-30 on the church at Antioch, where believers scattered by persecution preached to Gentiles for the first time and 'the hand of the Lord was with them.' He draws out marks a grace-filled church should share: desiring God's hand at work, purposing to cleave to the Lord, and being willing, like Barnabas seeking out Saul, to labor faithfully even in obscurity before recognition comes.
Key Takeaways
- Believers scattered by persecution preached to Gentiles in Antioch for the first time.
