What does it mean for a church to truly thrive? In this message from Acts 13:1–12, Pastor Leonce unpacks how the early church at Antioch became a launchpad for mission rather than a monument to comfort. A thriving church isn’t defined by size or stability. It’s marked by obedience to the Holy Spirit and a willingness to be sent. Through the story of Barnabas and Saul (Paul), this sermon will challenge you to step out of your comfort zone, embrace a multiethnic, Spirit-led mission, and confront spiritual darkness with the truth of the gospel. At United Church, this message fuels Overflow Sunday, launching a second service not for convenience, but for Kingdom impact. It’s a call to move from maintenance to mission, from comfort to calling, and to see Atlanta transformed by the love of Jesus.

When Jesus transforms you, bold Christian witnessing becomes your mission. In Acts 9, we see one of the most powerful moments in Scripture: Paul’s conversion. Once a fierce persecutor of Christians, Saul encounters Jesus, and his life is forever changed. This Acts 9 sermon unpacks how Paul goes from silencing believers to sharing the gospel with boldness in the very synagogues where he once brought fear. This message challenges us to live out our own “before and after” stories, care deeply for the spiritual fate of others, and step out in fearless faith. Just as Paul’s transformation ignited a movement, your witness can spark change in the lives around you.
