ACTS Part 2 // Week 5 // CHRISTIANS

About this episode

The episode discusses how the first believers were identified as Christians and what that means for modern believers.

Acts 11 describes the first believers who were called “Christians” because their lives clearly reflected Jesus. In a pagan city much like today’s culture, these disciples stood out by proclaiming God’s Word, sharing the gospel with everyone, living changed lives marked by God’s grace, faithfully gathering with other believers, and sacrificially helping those in need. Don't simply ask, “Am I a Christian?” but instead ask “Does my life make it obvious that I belong to Jesus?”
