This week's sermon, led by Pastor David, dives into the spreading of God's church beyond its initial boundaries. We explored how after the martyrdom of Stephen, persecution scattered believers, sparking a movement in places like Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch where the gospel began reaching beyond Jewish communities. The focus was on how churches can support one another, leaders can raise leaders, and believers can provide for each other's needs. A unique point was Barnabas's role in fostering unity and encouraging the growth in Antioch and how this narrative is a call for us to continue supporting each other beyond our local boundaries. Pastor David emphasized that God's church is global, unified in mission, and built by cooperation and support among its members and leaders.
