Podcasts about Acts 11

Dr. Luke wove the stories of two cities named Antioch in his New Testament narrative. But each church chose a different response to God's compelling structure for the spread of the Gospel worldwide. Just what postures did these two churches take and what lessons do they give us in our churches today? Get ready to be challenged as we take a look at the tale of two Antiochs! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

Lead Pastor Tony Foreman from First Baptist Church Williamstown continues the sermon series “The Daring Direction of the Church” – this week’s message titled “The Whole Story” comes from Acts 11:1-18.

We love to ask, “What is the Spirit doing today?” and Acts 11 answers with a living picture in Antioch. Persecution scatters believers like seed, but instead of shrinking, the gospel spreads. A new, multi-ethnic church is born in a city famous for its nicknames, and there, for the first time, followers of Jesus are called “Christians.” Why? Because what they knew, how they grew, and what they showed looked unmistakably like Jesus.

Listen along as we continue our series through the book of Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 11:1-30 -Kim reading Slide 1 A biblical proposition… needs interpretation. It does not simply interpret itself… The only way to interpret… is to look at the biblical story that reveals God's character through his actions…  The task of the church is to “faithfully improvise” the “rest of the story.” Christians are not called simply to live in the story; they are called to continue the story in their own cultural contexts. First, they must be grounded in the story. They must be people for whom the story “absorbs the world.” Second, they must together (communally) improvise the “rest of the story” faithfully to the story given in the Bible. Roger Olson Slide 2 Ritual Practices of a Typical Roman Meal - A portion of the food being offered to the gods. - Wine libations and the reciting of prayers in honor of the gods or of the dead. - Possibly even being given a dining wreath with flowers considered sacred to the gods upon arrival. Slide 3 Table comparing Acts 8:1 and Acts 11:19 https://services.planningcenteronline.com/plans/80966647# Slide 4 That's a great way of putting it. Grace is something you can see. Presumably when you watch Judeans and gentiles sharing in prayer, sharing in the Lord's supper, sharing their whole lives as brothers and sisters. You can't fake that. It's grace made visible.  - N.T Wright; The Challenge of Acts Slide 5 Acts 26:28 28 And Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time would you persuade me to be a Christian?” 1 Peter 4:14–16 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. Slide 6 Romans 15:26–27  26 For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. 27 For they were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings. Slide 7 When grace is visible, when the story of God is lived out in the world, when the church is truly carrying the name of Christ… The standard conventions for who is accepted and who is left out are re-evaluated, the standard ways of giving and receiving are upended and the standard ways in which we categorize our theology can be challenged.

acts 11-12

A church of Jesus in Chattanooga, Tennessee that loves God and lives in community for the sake of the city.We gather for worship on Sundays at 10am at Battle Academy (1601 Market Street).@citycollectivechatt on Instagramwww.citycollective.usinfo@citycollectivechatt.com

Big Idea: God's grace grants life, gives time, and gathers generosity.  God's grace grants life (1-18) God's grace gifts time (19-26) God's grace gathers generosity (27-30) Discussion questions  1. How has God personally shown His generosity to you—whether in creation, the Word, salvation, or the church—and how does that shape your worship and life.  2. Peter said, “Who was I that I could stand in God's way?” (Acts 11:17). Have there been times when your assumptions or traditions got in the way of sharing God's grace with others? 3. In what ways can you, like Barnabas and Saul, give the gift of time to help others grow in faith? Who has done that for you? 4. What needs—spiritual, physical, or emotional—do you see around you, and how can you take part in “seeing needs and meeting them” as the Antioch church did?

How to deal with these difficult situations? In today’s passage we saw that even though the church, the Christians, had already enjoyed some time without being persecuted for their faith, this was not the case with some of them. During the persecution instigated by Saul or Paul, the entire church had fled except for the […]

An important part of your development as a follower of Christ is learning patience. This will test your faith, and you'll find it easy to allow your passion to wane as you wait on God to lead you to the next step or open that next door for you. As Pastor Mark will point out today, you're not alone in that. In today's passage, we see that even the Apostle Paul had periods of waiting on God to lead him into His next mission. So what do you do while you wait? Just sit around and read your Bible and pray? Of course not – those are healthy practices, but God wants you to be actively sharing the Gospel right where you are.

Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Halloween, and you can likely think of a few more holidays we celebrate as Americans that have nothing to do with Christianity. Is there any harm in participating in these? As Pastor Mark will point out in today's message, as long as they don't become idolatrous or seen as a requirement for faith, it's not wrong to take part in these kinds of things.  As we'll find in today's passage from the book of Acts, the Apostle Peter struggled to separate Jewish rituals and rules from his faith. It was fine for him to follow those convictions for himself, as long as he didn't place that burden on others.

“The power of the Lord was with them, and a large number of these Gentiles believed and turned to the Lord.” (Acts 11:21 NLT) Christians often underestimate the raw, even explosive power that is inherent in the gospel message. The apostle Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile” (Romans 1:16 NLT). Keep in mind that Paul was a great intellectual. He was a master student and orator. When sharing the Good News about Christ, he could have called upon his ability to convince people. He could have called upon his powers of oration to bring his listeners around. Instead, Paul concentrated on the simple yet profound gospel message because he recognized its power. It’s the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes. The gospel message can impact anyone, regardless of background. It reaches the wealthy and poor, the educated and uneducated. It cuts through cultural barriers, racial barriers, economic barriers, and age barriers. The words of Acts 11:21 above testify to its impact. Everyone can grasp the gospel because God blesses it and plants it into the heart of the listener. Skeptics might argue that the message is hopelessly outdated, a relic from a different time and different culture. But these aren’t two-thousand-year-old words; they’re timeless words. Their truths are eternal. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says that God “has planted eternity in the human heart” (NLT). He’s given every person a soul-deep awareness that there is something more than this world—that something greater, something eternal is available to us. The gospel message brings that “something more” into focus. It shows us how we can have what our soul has been yearning for—even if we don’t exactly know what we were yearning for. The author of Hebrews wrote, “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires” (Hebrews 4:12 NLT). The gospel message penetrates to the deepest part of our being. What’s interesting, though, is that not everyone feels the blade right away. So when you share your faith with someone, when you help them understand the gospel message, you may not get an immediate, joyful, hallelujah-my-life-has-been-changed-forever response. You may not get any response at all. You may even get a rejection. And while that may be disappointing in the moment, it’s far from the end of the story. When you share the Good News of Christ, you’re doing the vital work of piercing someone’s soul with God’s two-edged sword. You’re connecting to the eternity He planted in someone’s heart. You’re preparing someone to experience the power of the gospel message. You’re setting the stage for God to change the person’s life. You don’t need to add anything to the gospel. You don’t need to take anything away from it. You don’t need to apologize for it. You don’t need to offer any disclaimers about it. All you need to do is proclaim it and stand back and watch God work. Reflection question: When have you witnessed the power of the gospel, in your own life or in the life of someone you know?
