This is the Way

This message explores the early church in Antioch and how it became a launching pad for worldwide missions. We examine the ingredients of a missional church and how the Antioch church's approach to sharing the Gospel, engaging culture, and discipleship can inform our own spiritual practices today.

Are we actively engaging with those around us who don't know Christ? Are we encouraging one another in our faith journey? Let's strive to be like the Antioch Christians, so different from the culture around us that people can't help but notice Christ in us.

Takeaways:

Share the Good News courageously: Like the believers from Cyprus and Cyrene, we are called to break cultural barriers and share the Gospel with everyone, not just those who are like us.

Be precise in sharing the Gospel: We should know the Gospel well and consider our audience's background when sharing, just as the early evangelists did in Antioch.

Embrace accountability and encouragement: The growth of the Antioch church reminds us of the importance of both accountability and encouragement in our spiritual lives and church community.
