Summary
Acts 11 reveals how the Jerusalem church poured into the new church at Antioch, establishing a model of established churches equipping and sending out new leaders. Cross Church aims to embody this Acts 11 pattern by equipping pastors and missionaries worldwide through the new Partner Family initiative, ensuring the gospel spreads through strategic partnerships rather than institutional growth alone.
Highlights
Christianity without love is not Christianity. A commitment to follow Jesus without a commitment to love people is not Christianity.
Only Jesus Christ can write that kind of story. The guy who watched Stephen die, and now Barnabas is asking him to help invest in that church.
God will use the hard things in your life, the painful things in your life for his glory and ultimately for your good.
