Listen "88 | Thriving as a Church"
Episode Synopsis
If you can't be the evangelist who goes out, support someone who can. The purpose of the church is to reach all people in all nations with the Gospel Truth. No Christian is exempt from that calling. In Acts 11, Peter defends his actions to the Jerusalem church after preaching to the Gentiles. He shares how God led him to Cornelius, a Roman centurion, and how the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the message, just as it had on the Jews at Pentecost. This pivotal moment underscores that the Gospel is for everyone, not just a select few. We evangelize in different ways, and that's okay, but we need to share the message of hope in the way that we are able. We are the messengers — we are not the message. Our calling is to simply deliver it, and God will do the rest by His power and might, not by ours. Just as the Holy Spirit guided Peter, we too must trust that God will work through our efforts, no matter how small they may seem.
