In this in-depth episode of the AL Pastor Podcast, Pastor Brian dives into Acts 11:19–30, exploring how the early church expanded beyond cultural boundaries through persecution, ordinary believers, and the power of God’s hand. Discover the miraculous birth of the Antioch church, the first significant multiethnic Christian community, and how Barnabas and Saul’s faithful discipleship shaped believers into what we now call Christians. This passage not only shows God’s sovereign plan turning persecution into purpose but also emphasizes the timeless truth that God’s church grows through His power, His people, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ as Lord.
