A church in Antioch, so grand
It had a great following in the land
The Lord’s hand was seen
When the gospel was shared in between
The Gentiles and Jews, a new strand

Potential actions to take in response

One practical way to respond to the teaching of the Bible passage Acts 11.19-30 is to be open to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives and to be willing to take risks in our faith. We can respond by allowing God to lead us to places and people we may not have expected or even wanted to go. We can be willing to share the Good News even if it means going into unfamiliar territory and stepping out of our comfort zones. We can remember that God is faithful and He will bless our efforts. We can also be willing to accept and embrace others, no matter their background, culture, or beliefs, as the first disciples did in the passage. We can open our hearts to those who are different than us and demonstrate the love of God through our actions. Finally, we can take time to reflect on the passage and ask God to show us how we can best live out the teaching in our everyday lives.
