“The Lord’s hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.” (Acts 11:21)

We continue our series on the Church Unleashed, started before Advent and leading to Lent. Helpful in these days as we rediscover what it means to be church beyond the walls of our church buildings and for the witness to Christ Jesus. Antioch was one landing place for the scattered and persecuted church in Acts, with six core values that have influenced our own life and ministry at CBC. They are to:

1. SPEAK the good news about Jesus Christ (Acts 11:20)

2. GROW in our study of the Bible (Acts 11:26)

3. HELP those in need (Acts 11:29)

4. WORSHIP with prayer and fasting (Acts 13:2)

5. LISTEN to the Holy Spirit (Acts 11:28, 13:2)

6. SEND people to serve God (Acts 13:2-3)

These are the six core values of an Unleashed Church in Antioch and of Canterbury Baptist Church. How can we collectively keep and support these values in the context of our serving together at CBC? And how can you keep them in your faithful and bold service unto God both in these COVID days and beyond?
