You can’t stop the gospel. After Stephen was stoned (Acts 7), a great persecution broke out but so did a mighty witness from God’s people. You can’t stop the gospel. In fact, when the church was divided and, then, scattered, it only served to multiply the witness of the church. The gospel went like gangbusters - to Judea, to Samaria - to Jew and Gentile. The gospel made it all the way to Antioch and now to the ends of the earth. You can’t stop the gospel.

This weekend, we want to ask consider what it means to wear the name of Christ. We carry the name of Christ! It was given to us at our baptisms. We are Christians, little Christs. You might even say that we are Christ’s. What does it mean for us to wear this name? We’ll be looking at Acts 11:19-30.
