    An Outline Of Acts 11:19-30

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 29, 2022
     | 2,458 views

    Acts 11:19-30 gives an account of how the Church reached as far away as Antioch, nearly 300 miles from Jerusalem. A group of unknown missionaries went to Antioch, then Barnabas came, and then so did Saul.

    Introduction: The second part of Acts 11 covers two different scenarios, probably a few years apart. First, Luke describes the growth of the Church and how the Gospel reached as far away as Antioch. Then he adds a brief note, where one of the New Testament prophets—Agabus—made a prediction about a ...read more

     | 15,157 views

    Here is a motivational message that will drive home the point that pursuing excellence is not always fun, and may not bring instant results. However, the end result (if found in Christ) is worth more than gold.

    The proof of your DESIRE is in your PURSUIT! Daniel 1:8-17 Daniel 3:13-18 Four theorems from the text 1. The pursuit of excellence will most always seem foreign to those on the OUTSIDE looking IN!

Then he proceeded to show them why they should do everything possible to avoid going there. I agreed totally then and still do! But ...read more

    Just as the Lord trained Naaman, so also he trains us to hold on to his promises by faith alone, so that we shine out with Christian love and Christ-centered confidence like the little Israelite slave girl did.
