Gospel hope for everyone, Acts 11:19–30 (Homnath Dhakal)

This talk explores how the good news of Jesus moved beyond one culture to many in Acts 11:19–30. Scattered by persecution, believers reached Antioch and began speaking not only to Jews but also to Greeks. The Lord’s hand was with them, many believed, and Barnabas arrived to encourage them to remain true to the Lord. He then brought Saul to help teach for a year, and the disciples were first called Christians there. When Agabus foretold a famine, the Antioch church responded with practical generosity, sending help to Judea. Themes include mission across cultures, encouragement, collaboration, the power of the Holy Spirit, and measured success by God’s grace rather than human effort. This talk was given by Professor Homnath Dhakal at St Jude’s Church Southsea on 17 May 2026. The reading was Acts 11:19–30; other references included Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:18–20; 2 Timothy 2:1; Luke 19:1–10; and Revelation 7:17. With a warm, pastoral tone, the talk invites us to see how God uses ordinary people to share hope, to encourage one another in faith, and to cross cultural and social boundaries with the love of Christ. It also points to Antioch’s example of thoughtful, proactive generosity. Listeners are encouraged to consider where God may be calling them to remain faithful, to collaborate humbly, and to put love into action in their own communities.
