Even during seasons of persecution, the early Christians did not let up on sharing the Word of God with people. This is the main mission of the Church, that is, to build people’s faith in Christ by sharing the Word of God with them. We see them preaching Jesus, and hear their witness that God was with them, and that a great number of people believed their testimonies and turned to the Lord. The result of their ministry was people turned toward the Lord. They gave Jesus their faces and not their backs. Praise the Lord!
“Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the Word to no one but the Jews only. But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.” Acts 11:19-21
21st Century Jeremiah is a publishing site that is managed and operated by Mark Czanderna for the expressed purpose to provide for you free Bible-based and Christ-exalting resources. My goal is to align myself with the prophetic words of God as carefully and accurately as Jeremiah the prophet did in his day, but include the additional revelations that the Lord Jesus Christ provided for us in the Gospels, the Book of Acts, the Epistles of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation.
