This passage offers a compelling vision of gospel-centered community through the church in Antioch. This diverse, Spirit-led gathering grew out of persecution and became a hub for mission and generosity. As believers preached the gospel to both Jews and Greeks, the hand of the Lord was with them, and many turned to Christ. Barnabas and Saul discipled this growing community, strengthening their faith and deepening their unity. It was here that the disciples were first called Christians—evidence of a new identity shaped by the gospel. The Antioch church responded to need with sacrificial generosity, showing that true kingdom community is rooted in worship, formed by discipleship, and expressed through mission. This is the kind of church we long to become through The Antioch Initiative—a sending church, a growing church, and a gospel-shaped community for generations to come.
