The Priority of Evangelism

When God's people step up, God's power steps in.  In this inspiring message from Acts 11:19-21, Dr. Brian Taylor reminds us that God often uses ordinary believers—not just pastors or ministry leaders—to accomplish extraordinary things. As the early church scattered because of persecution, they didn't stop sharing the Gospel—they carried it everywhere they went, and God transformed entire cities through their obedience.  This sermon explores why evangelism isn't the responsibility of a select few, but the calling of every follower of Jesus. Learn how the believers in Antioch became a powerful example of collective ownership, readiness, and impact as they prioritized what mattered most to God.  Whether you've shared your faith for years or you're nervous about where to begin, this message will encourage and equip you to take your next step in God's mission.
