The Jewish authorities could not deny Christ’s power at work, when they threatened Peter and John to stay quiet. On their release, Peter and John prayed with the church for power and boldness. The place where they were praying was shaken and all of them, not just the apostles, experienced and demonstrated God’s power. God’s grace was at work even as they all loved and shared with one another.

Whether we realize it or not, we’re all being influenced and shaped. The question is, by what?

The church at Antioch, described in Acts 13, offers a compelling picture of what happens when the Holy Spirit unifies a diverse people in common cause. Men from different regions, cultures, and social standings are brought together and unified by God for the sake of His kingdom and His glory. This four-day devotional explores how the early leaders in that church had their identities reshaped by the gospel of Jesus Christ and what that means for the church today. Through their example, we will consider a vision for a church marked by unity, purpose, and faithfulness.
