Due to the persecution of early believers, the gospel was spread across Rome, not only to the Jews but also to the Greeks. In effect, the church of Antioch became a hub for ministry. Pastor Dan encourages us to follow Antioch's example and become a hub for ministry in the New Orleans area.

Like the shepherd sought out the single, lost sheep in Jesus' parable, Bro. Dawesteniel Louis challenges us to find just one person to reach with the gospel.

Bro. Austin Smith shares "The Parable of the Ten Virgins" with us, pointing out how we too need to be ready for Christ's return just like the wise lamp bearers were ready for the bridegroom in the story.

Like the children learned during Rocky Railway VBS the previous week, Pastor Dan reminds us all that "God's power helps us do hard things."

God revealed through Peter that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. An identity in Christ was offered to anyone who believed in Jesus, both the Jew and the Gentile. Pastor Dan shows us some of the ways that our identity in Christ is proven through the early church's revelation.

God used a vision and a unique, evangelistic experience with a centurion to show Peter "that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right." (Acts 10:34-35) Pastor Dan uses this awesome story to point out some of the ways God works in the lives of believers.

"God will supply us with the opportunity, but it's up to us to do something with it." Pastor Dan uses Peter's ministry in Acts 9 to demonstrate how we can be 7-day-a-week Christians.

Saul, once a persecutor of the church, began openly sharing that Jesus is the messiah. Pastor Dan teaches us what it means to become a man of influence just like Paul became.

Right after Saul, also known as Paul, was blinded by the light of Christ, God directed Ananias, a disciple in Damascus, to go and heal him. Pastor Dan teaches us that as vessels of God's grace, we, too, are called to share grace with others in loving obedience.

As Memorial Baptist Church asks God to bless the new school building for Memorial Baptist School, Pastor Dan and Principal Riggs recount many of the ways that God has blessed us over this last, difficult year.
