When it came time for the gospel of Jesus to go to the rest of the world, God raised up the church at Antioch. Looking at why God used this church gives a blueprint for the church that wants to be used by God to change the world today. This video also includes 6 baptisms from our 9 a.m. worship service.

After the martyrdom of James and the arrest of Peter in Acts 12, the believers hit their knees and prayed. God moved and Peter was miraculously released. Jesus taught his disciples much about prayer and the church was putting His teachings into practice. 

As the group of believers in Antioch begins to grow, the Jerusalem church sends Barnabas to investigate. Barnabas, ever the encourager, is glad to see how God is moving and saving the Gentiles. In this message, Pastor Randy gives 5 ways that we can be a godly encourager to others.

The focus in Acts after the conversion of Paul finds the Lord shifting the heart of the church to reach the Gentiles. At the end of Acts 9 and in Acts 10, we see the conversion of a Roman centurion, a Gentile, named Cornelius.

In this missions themed message, we look at God's call to Philip to take the Gospel to an Ethiopian official. This was the beginning of the Good News of Jesus going to the uttermost parts of the earth.
