A Distinct AccentActs 11:19-30Teacher: Pastor Tommy BaileyDate: June 21, 2026In Acts 11:19-30, the gospel reaches Syrian Antioch, the third-largest city in the ancient world. Believers scattered by persecution arrived, speaking the name of Jesus, and the hand of the Lord was with them. Something about their words and their lives set them apart, a spiritual accent the city had never heard. Their way of life was so unusual that the pagan city of Antioch had no category for them. Likely as a derogatory term, believers were called Christiansfor the first time.Join Pastor Tommy as we consider what made this young church so unique: what they said, how they lived, and who they turned to. These believers were so captured by Jesus that their whole way of life pointed to another home.Join Our Community:Our Sunday morning worship services are comprised of verse-by-verse Bible teaching, Christ-centered worship, and a time of congregational prayer.In-Person: 9 am & 11 am in Nashville, TNOnline: 10 am at https://thevillagechapel.online.churchConnect With Us:Dive deeper into our verse-by-verse studies.
