Today, I would like for us to study a church that went viral, a New Testament congregation that grew by leaps and bounds. I am referring to the church in the ancient city of Antioch, and the first reference to the church in that city is found in Acts 11:19-30.
The congregation “went viral”. From secular history, we are told that by the time of the Nicene Council in 325 AD, there were more than 200,000 Christians in the city of Antioch alone. The hand of the Lord was with them. These are things that we can still do today.
God can still use a church like the church in Antioch. We can do every single one of these things this week right here in the Pembina Valley. We can go out the doors of this building, and we can show Jesus to somebody today.
