In this chapter, Peter tells the church leaders in Jerusalem that the Gospel is for all people. And, in a remarkable moment (especially if you are familiar with church life), the leaders accept Christ’s call to the nations without argument or discussion. We also learn more about the encouraging ministry of Barnabas, and the watching world develops an unintentionally flattering name for these followers of Jesus in Antioch.
Big Idea: The early church carried the gospel throughout the known world in approximately 30 years and transformed an empire in 3 centuries. Now the church seems intimidated, uncertain amidst swift cultural changes. So, what did the early Christians, commanded by Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, do that we are not doing? Here are their Acts, and may they inspire our own.
