For the early church and for us, clarity on the faith-alone gospel is necessary to fuel unifying love and unhindered mission.

Amid the fiercest opposition and persecution, God’s word—and its fruit: more and more Christians—progresses unimpeded. CMC, will we live like we believe that the word of God can’t be conquered?

The word of Lord that was preached in Pisidian Antioch still confronts each of us: receive Jesus with joy leading to life or revile Him with scorn leading to condemnation.

The gospel advances over spiritual opposition as the Holy Spirit sends and empowers Christ’s missional church.

Not even the murder of an apostle can hinder the Lord’s conquering of His enemies and the advance of His word. CMC, let us be confident in Jesus’ promise to build His church.

The giving of the Holy Spirit obliterated the dividing wall between Jews and Gentiles who then lived out a happy connection in mission and in love. CMC, do we evidence the fruit of Spirit-wrought unity in our church?

Peter readily preached the gospel of the God Who shows no partiality, and even Gentiles believed it. Will we also readily preach it and embrace as brothers those who believe it?

Because the Lord Jesus has abolished the dividing wall between Jews and Gentiles, the gospel must be proclaimed without distinction by Peter – and by us.

Through Peter, King Jesus continues spreading His resurrecting gospel to the edge of Israel and beyond. He’s still on that mission. Are you with Him?
