The Mission of God: Lessons from Acts 13
In this episode of the Middletown Baptist Church podcast, Pastor Josh delves into Acts chapter 13. He emphasizes the importance of being an authentic church through scripture and discusses how the early church in Antioch proactively sent out missionaries like Saul (Paul) and Barnabas to spread the Gospel. Pastor Josh challenges the church to find their place in God's mission, encouraging members to evangelize, disciple, and train others. He also highlights the vital roles of preaching, teaching, and being led by the Holy Spirit in fulfilling the Great Commission.
