The Weekend Pulpit: When Jesus Comes to Town

from Enjoying the Journey · host Scott Pauley

In this Weekend Pulpit message, Scott continues his study in Acts 11 and explores the unlikely rise of the church in Antioch. Using the church's story as a model, he shows how the gospel advances when the Lord is central to a congregation and when believers pass along what they have received. Scott examines Acts 11:19–24, highlighting four marks of what happens when the Lord "comes to town": the moving of the Lord, the turning to the Lord, the adding to the church, and the cleaving to the Lord.
