    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. Today, I want to answer that question for then, in Paul’s day, and now, in ...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

    Barnabas means "son of encouragement." He lived his life by this definition. We Christians can learn from God how we too can be a "son of encouragement."

    If being a Christian is about BEING CHANGED and BEARING CHALLENGES, how well do we line up?

    Acts 11:19-26; 1 Peter 4:12-16 – I Am a C? There were two evil brothers. They were rich and used their money to keep their ways from the public eye. They even attended the same church and looked to be perfect Christians. Then, their pastor retired and a new one was hired. Not only could he see ...read more

    THE FUNERAL FOR A GOOD MAN - Read Acts 11:19-24 Barnabas was evidently dead when Luke wrote this verse, for the disciple used the past tense in describing him.

    The church is the body of Christ working and serving today, so let’s examine the kind of church Jesus would want.

    What Kind of Church Does Jesus Want? Editors note: Sunday 14 January 2007 was a bad weather day in the DFW area. Comments made during the message had this in mind. Today is a difficult day as a pastor when the weather is bad and few people venture out to attend the services. So, speaking of ...read more

    Quite often Barnabas is seen as just a side-kick or an assistant of Paul’s. But that’s an unfair picture of this Christian man who truly followed the example of Jesus Christ. I’d like you to dig into the Scriptures with me and see what we can learn about

    As Christians we should follow His example. In this sermon I share several things I believe we should do as Christians to "Be Like Christ."

    Read Scripture Acts 11:19-26 I want us to think about that last sentence for a few minutes this morning. The Disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Those who called themselves believers and considered themselves to be His disciples were referred to as Christians. Some scholars ...read more
