Authentic Church Through Scripture: Lessons from Acts 11
In this episode of the Middletown Baptist Church podcast, Pastor Josh delves into Acts chapter 11, explaining the challenges Peter faced for ministering to Gentiles and how he addressed them with grace and Biblical truth. Pastor Josh underscores the importance of stepping outside of comfort zones to spread the gospel and emphasizes the church's role in fostering unity and glorifying God amidst contention. The sermon transitions to highlight the spread of Christianity to various regions following Stephen's persecution and the critical role of obedience to God's calling. Pastor Josh also praises Barnabas's encouraging role in the early church and stresses the significance of living boldly for Christ, giving generously, and nurturing new believers into mature followers. Finally, the idea of being Christians by action and faith, not just by name, is explored to inspire listeners to live their faith authentically.
