About This Message
Pastor Addison preaches on complacency in Acts 8, noting that the early church had a clear command to take the gospel to Judea, Samaria, and beyond, yet had grown comfortable staying only in Jerusalem. He shows how God used the persecution following Stephen's death and Saul's assault on the church to scatter believers and spread the gospel, and challenges the congregation to step outside their comfort zone.
Key Takeaways
- Jesus commanded witness to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the whole earth.
- The early church grew comfortable and stayed only within Jerusalem.
- Persecution after Stephen's death scattered believers, spreading the gospel further.
