This week, we conclude our journey through the opening chapters of Acts — and what a journey it’s been! From a handful of uncertain disciples in Jerusalem to the birth of a vibrant, multi-ethnic church in Antioch, we see the risen Jesus keeping His promise: the gospel going to the ends of the earth.

In Acts 11, Rev. James explores how God builds His masterpiece — the Church — through ordinary believers, prayerful dependence, and leaders who embody both truth and love. What was new about this church, this name “Christian,” and this kind of leadership? And what might it look like for St Alban’s today to uncover again the beauty of Christ’s original design?

Come be encouraged to share your faith, deepen your prayer, and live out your true identity — as one who belongs to Christ.
