    The People of Antioch meant it as a derogatory term...but we can wear it as a badge of honor! Powerpoint at website.

    You Bunch of Christians! Acts 11:19-30 Antioch was a wicked city…3rd largest in Roman Empire, w/ population of half a million…known for gambling, prostitution, pagan worship.

    The First Christians

    As we examine this passage it is easy to see three outstanding things about these who were first called Christians. They had made a CHOICE for Christ. They had been CHANGED by Christ. They were accepting a CHALLENGE for Christ.

    The First Christians Acts 11:19-26 "Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were ...read more

    Last week I asked you to consider how you might finish the statement, I Like Church But,….. The question was intended make you look at the simple problems in the church, the things that tend to irritate us. The kind of things that an outsider might find a roadblock to Jesus Christ. I hope that I ...read more

    What did it mean when the first believers were called Christians? What does it mean today?

    What Does It Mean To Be Called a Christian? Acts 11:19-26 If I were to ask you the question “What Does It Mean To Be Called a Christian?”, there would be many varied answers... even in this place, even among Christians.

    The Contention Concerning The Centurion.

    Whenever a change takes place in a church there is often a stir among some of the members. And unfortunately, when the change is good, there is more contention. That tells a great deal about the character of the church.

    The contention concerning the centurion. Acts 11:1 -- 18. 02/25/04 You remember I said a great change came into the early church when the Gentiles got saved. This change produced contention in the early church and Peter was right in the middle of it. “When the apostle’s and brethren that were ...read more

    This message looks at the problem in Acts 11:1-18 of those in the early church focusing on the wrong aspects of what took place there.

    Sometimes we as Christians can get all bent out of shape over the smallest, most insignificant things. You might think that it has something to do with today’s “drive thru” culture but you would be wrong. In fact, today we will see that it goes all the way back to the early Church. That is why I ...read more

    This sermon follows the progression of Acts 11:19-26 and identifies 10 things we should be aware of today. I used train illustrations with the 10 words.

    There are 10 stops along the tracks. (I used train related illustrations for each of these words) 1. Dispersion – v. 19a – Sometimes life takes us in many different directions just as it did in the early Church. 2. Exclusion – v. 19b – Often we like the early Church miss the point that the gospel ...read more

    ANTIOCH: A MODEL CHURCH Acts 11:19-30 INTRO: Any search for a model Church must inevitably begin in the New Testament. Generally speaking, the Jerusalem Church is considered the first Church, and we are indebted to it for many reasons. The influence of the Church ...read more

    God uses our uniqueness to build his body

    “Unity in Diversity” Acts 11:19-30 Intro: Read “First EZ Church” For many of us, this is our idea of a church. Some of you might have even been scrambling for a pencil to jot down the address. But the truth is, often our churches are not what God designed for them to be. This morning, we want ...read more

    A message about how we need a clean heart.

    Open with me to acts chapter 11 verse 23. It reads “Who, when he came and had the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all that with purpose of heart they would cling unto the Lord.” There are so many scriptures that talk about the heart of man. As early as Genesis 6:5 God tells us that the ...read more

    There are many great unsung hero’s of faith in the Bible. Men and women who worked in the shadow of great men of God and made there ministry possible. BARNABAS is truly one of the great unsung heros of faith.
