A Multiplying Church

This week at Ascend Bible Church, we opened our new series Letters to Ascend with “A Letter About Multiplying Disciples.”Text: Acts 11:19–30; Acts 13:1–3Main Idea: A multiplying church is marked by reaching new people, strengthening young disciples, sacrificing to give, and sending to the nations.From the church in Antioch, we see four marks of a multiplying church:1) Reaching new people (Acts 11:19–21)2) Strengthening disciples (Acts 11:22–26)3) Sacrificing to give (Acts 11:27–30)4) Sending to the nations (Acts 13:1–3)This message challenges us to live out Acts 1:8 in our own community: strengthened by God’s Word, shaped in discipleship, and sent with gospel purpose.If you’re looking for encouragement to multiply your faith and invest in God’s mission, this sermon is for you.
