First “Called” Christians

They were called Christians

Acts 11:19-30 (page 840)

“It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians.”

What makes Authentic Believers?

1) Pay attention to God at Work

2) Mimic God at Work

Ephesians 2:13-15, “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity...”

3) Trust the Power of God at Work

Romans 3:23, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God...”4) Partner together with God at Work

Two Partner Principles:

People Work Together 

People Give Together

Key point to joining the Work of God: You have been invited in, so that you will be called out!
