THE GREAT EVIDENCE THAT GOD IS STILL
WORKING IN THE MIDST OF THE CHURCH
ACTS 11:20-24 "And
some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to
Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of
the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in
Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted
them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord. 24 For he
was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was
added unto the Lord."
I. REVIVAL IS A NORMAL EXPERIENCE BY THE CHURCH
ACTS 11:19-20 "Now
they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen
travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to
none but unto the Jews only. 20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene,
which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the
Lord Jesus."
II. REACHING
MORE SOULS BY THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST IS A NORMAL EXPERIENCE BY THE CHURCH
ACTS 11:20-21 "And
some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to
Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of
the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the
Lord."
III. REJOICING OF THE CHURCH IS A NORMAL EXPERIENCE BY
THE CHURCH
ACTS 11:22-23 "Then
tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in
Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted
them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord."
IV. REASONS FOR DYNAMIC GROWTH OF THE CHURCH IS A NORMAL
EXPERIENCE
ACTS 11:24-26 "Acts
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people
was added unto the Lord. 25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they
assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples
were called Christians first in Antioch."
V. READINESS TO GO TO THE REGIONS BEYOND TO PLANT MORE
MISSION WORK IS A NORMAL EXPERIENCE BY THE CHURCH
ACTS 11:26 "And
when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a
whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people.
And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."
God
bless you all.
