As the gospel continues to spread, revival breaks out in the city of Antioch! It was here that the disciples were first labeled “Christians” (meaning, “little Christ’s”). They were filled with the Holy Spirit, captivated by the message of the gospel, and the surrounding city saw in them an otherworldly quality of life. While they were a spiritually young church, they were also a devoted church. Antioch gives us a picture of a healthy church that is devoted to God’s mission, led by servant-leaders, committed to God’s Word, and radically generous with their wealth and possessions.
