Lessons From Antioch; Acts 11: 19-30/ Acts 13: 1-3; Rev. Andrew Brown, Sunday 31st May 2026
Antioch shouldn't have happened. The unnamed disciples who travelled there after Stephen's death were scattered refugees, not apostles. Yet a church was planted and something amazing took root: a community so visibly different that the watching city came up with a new name for them: Christians. Antioch also becomes a model of sacrificial generosity, sending financial relief to Judean brothers and sisters they have never met. The group that began as a scattered community of refugees becomes a vibrant church. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all Of life all about Jesus.

Send us Fan MailWhen Peter returned to Jerusalem after sharing the good news of Jesus with the Roman military officer, who is a non-Jew, he faced sharp criticism from fellow believers. Why? Because he had entered the home of Gentiles (non-Jews), shared a meal with them, and witnessed God pour out the Holy Spirit upon them.In this episode of Renewing Your Mind with the Word of God, we walk verse-by-verse through Acts 11:1–18 and explore one of the most important turning points in church history. Peter explains to his critics how God gave him a vision, led him to Cornelius' house, and demonstrated beyond doubt that salvation through Jesus Christ was not only for the Jewish people but for all who believe.Acts 11 reminds us that the gospel breaks down every barrier that man tries to build. God's invitation to salvation through Jesus Christ extends to every tribe, nation, language, and people.Join us as we study this powerful chapter and see how God's plan for the world unfolded through the obedience of Peter and the work of the Holy Spirit.Listen now and be encouraged by the life-changing truth that salvation is available to all who place their faith in Jesus Christ.Listen now at renewyourmindministries.orgYou can listen to past and future episodes of this podcast and The God Revelation Podcast and the Holy Spirit Podcast on our website https://renewyourmindministries.org/, or on any podcast platform such as Amazon Alexa, Audible, Apple/Itunes Podcasts, Spotify, iheart, Youtube Podcasts, & etc.
In this week's message, Dave Bruskas, Executive Director of Discipleship, walks through Acts 11:19-30 and the growth of the church in Antioch, where the disciples were first called Christians. Through the faithfulness of ordinary believers, the encouragement of Barnabas, and the unity of the early church, we see what happens when people are deeply formed by Jesus. The passage challenges us to consider whether our lives are so shaped by Jesus that people naturally see him in us.

The giving of the Holy Spirit obliterated the dividing wall between Jews and Gentiles who then lived out a happy connection in mission and in love. CMC, do we evidence the fruit of Spirit-wrought unity in our church?

May 24 - James- Acts 11 - They were first called Christians at Antioch by Platt Park Church
Season 1 of Acts took place in Jerusalem and as we step into season 2 we are moving to Judea and Samaria. It took persecution to move the Christians from the comfort of Jerusalem to their calling to reach the ends of the earth but God will use it in His power.___While much of the ministry of the early church was moving forward with the only opposition being from the religious jealousy of the Jews, things change in this passage. Famine, James is murdered by the Roman government, & Peter is arrested. How do the Christians respond to this wave of tribulation? Earnest prayer.
Send us Fan MailBarnabas is not the loudest name in the New Testament, but Acts 11:23–24 shows why his leadership still shakes the ground. When he steps into Antioch and sees the grace of God moving among outsiders, he doesn't tighten his grip or try to control the moment. He rejoices, he encourages, and he calls people to stay true to the Lord with a steady, resolute heart. That kind of quiet obedience is rare, and it's exactly what many Christian men need right now.Most men fight a battle no one sees—their thoughts. Shame, temptation, and negative spirals don't just go away. This plan on the Bible App helps you bring that fight into the light, take thoughts captive, and build real discipline of the mind.

What happens when God opens a door you didn't want — and your community pushes back? In Acts 11, Peter returns to Jerusalem and immediately faces criticism — not for what God did, but for where Peter was when He did it. The tension between religious tradition and a fresh move of God is as real today as it was then. This week on Midweek Move, we dig into what it actually looks like to recognize God's hand in something unexpected — and what it costs to say yes. Ask yourself this week: Is there a door God has opened that you've been hesitant to walk through? How do you know when something is truly from God — and not just your own desire?
They tried to stop Christianity by force. Arrests, threats, murder. Steven was killed. Believers were hunted down. The message was supposed to die. Believers were supposed to cower. But instead of stopping the movement, the gospel spread. Those who were scattered did not stop preaching. They took it with them to new areas, cities, regions, entire cultures started hearing about Jesus for the very first time. Every attempt to crush the church, not only in the book of Acts, but throughout history, has only made it grow faster.Why does persecution always backfire? And what does that mean for us today?We'll be looking at those questions as we study Acts 11:19-30.Acts 11 Bible study guide with companion discussion questions on our https://studyandobey.com/inductive-bible-study/acts/acts-11/Study and Obey's Bible study guides on Amazon -https://amzn.to/48SgPEN(As an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)Study and Obey Free Weekly Podcast on Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/study-and-obey/id1571266150Our website of 800+ practical and free Bible studies - https://studyandobey.comSupport this ministry -https://studyandobey.com/support/25+ Bible study guides for individual or group study on many different books of the Bible - https://studyandobey.com/shop/Sign up for a weekly Bible study to your inbox. 20+ studies to choose from - https://studyandobey.com/weekly-bible-study/Support the show
Season 1 of Acts took place in Jerusalem and as we step into season 2 we are moving to Judea and Samaria. It took persecution to move the Christians from the comfort of Jerusalem to their calling to reach the ends of the earth but God will use it in His power. ___ As the Gospel takes root in far away places like Antioch, the need for a new leader emerges and Barnabas has been waiting for a moment and for a people who were ready for Saul.

A @Christadelphians Video: [Inspiring] What is the "certain place" where mercy and truth meet, and righteousness and peace kiss? In this thought-provoking and insightful Memorial exhortation, Bro Ted Hodge takes us on an expositional journey through Scripture to reveal the wonderful intersection of God's divine attributes. From Jacob's vision at Bethel to the seven ecclesias of Revelation, we explore how this special place is not just a location—it's a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, full of grace and truth.This outstanding presentation challenges us as individuals and as an ecclesia to examine whether we truly dwell in this place where goodness and severity, love and faithfulness exist in perfect harmony. With practical application for our Memorial meeting and daily walk, Bro Hodge reminds us that we are soldiers of Christ, battling to remain at this place where true righteousness and peace abide. A revealing and uplifting study that will transform how you view the emblems and your spiritual warfare.**Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction: A Place Where Mercy and Truth Meet02:14 - Jacob's Vision at Bethel: The House of God03:27 - The Lord Jesus Christ: The Person Who Is This Place05:35 - The Beauty of Scripture's Couplets06:29 - The Seven Ecclesias: Who Is at This Place?09:17 - As Individuals: Searching the Reins and Hearts10:37 - The Soldier Analogy: Enduring Hardship12:28 - 2 Timothy 2: Passing the Baton15:11 - As an Ecclesia: The House of God16:46 - The Importance of Assembling Together19:25 - Lampstands and Imperfect People21:28 - Practical Application: Balancing Divine Attributes22:52 - The Son of Man: Full of Grace and Truth25:40 - The Emblems: Where We Meet God27:07 - The Mercy Seat: Our Place of Forgiveness28:29 - Partaking in Remembrance29:13 - 1 Corinthians 11:23-30: The Lord's Supper30:49 - Prayer for the Bread33:05 - Prayer for the Cup34:47 - Closing Hymn37:28 - Concluding Prayer and Benediction42:50 - Final Reflection: Come and Listen**Bible Verse Categories:**

The church was growing, disciples were multiplying, and the gospel was going out. Everything seemed to be going great for the early New Testament church, but a dangerous false teaching was starting to infiltrate. A teaching that still can derail Christians even today, millennia later. The question is, is faith in Jesus enough to save you, or is something else required? That's thequestion that Peter gracefully answers in this passage, and that's what we'll be looking at.

What does it actually look like when the welcome of Jesus takes root in someone's life? In this week's message from Acts 11, we discover that the gospel doesn't just change what we believe — it changes who we are. As the early church spreads beyond Jerusalem into the multicultural city of Antioch, something remarkable happens: followers of Jesus start looking so much like Him that outsiders give them a brand new name — Christians. Through the lives of ordinary believers, unnamed evangelists, and a leader named Barnabas, we see four marks of a people transformed by Jesus: a passion for good news, integrated Christ-like leadership, dependence on the Holy Spirit, and radical generosity. If there are gaps between who you are and who Christ is calling you to be, this message will point you back to the one place real change begins — the surprising welcome of Jesus.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/
