Persecution scattered Christians from Jerusalem but it did not scare them. Arriving in Antioch they shared the gospel with their Gentile neighbours and unknowingly started the fastest ever church expansion. The apostles sent Barnabas to Antioch,  Barnabas fetched Saul (later 'Paul') from Tarsus, and the growing church at Antioch sent Paul and Barnabus to evangelise the Gentile world.

When the Bible repeats itself you can be sure that the matter is specially important. Acts 11:1-18 is largely a repetition of Peter's experience in the house of Roman centurian Cornelius where God poured out His Spirit on the Gentiles. Two important lessons are being taught, Firstly the gospel is for all peoples and secondly the gospel is necessary for salvation ... the best human works are not enough.

Following a short reading by Pastor Chris Boraston, visiting preacher Ian Randall explores the insights of James Chapter 3 into the power and perils of human speech. The destructive potential of the tongue is capable of igniting devastating fires with just a few careless words. We unpack three illustrations that James uses to show how small but mighty the tongue really is—like a rudder steering a massive ship or a spark setting a forest ablaze. James calls for humility, urging us to submit ourselves to God and resist the devil. Humility, confession, and reliance on divine grace, can transform our speech and align it with biblical principles.
