Prophecy & A Multi-Ethnic Faith - Acts 11
Episode 11
Thursday, 1 October, 2026
We’re in Acts Chapter 11! Peter returns to Jerusalem and immediately faces criticism for eating with Gentiles. But after hearing how God moved, the Jewish believers do something surprisingly difficult: they change their minds.We talk about the gospel breaking through cultural and religious boundaries, why the believers were first called “Christians” in Antioch, and why Barnabas and Saul spend an entire year teaching the new church. Then we dig into one of the more unusual moments in Acts: Agabus predicts a coming famine.What do we do with prophecy today? How can we discern whether something is actually from God? And what can Acts 11 teach us about holding our traditions loosely when God is clearly at work?Timestamps:00:00 – Intro02:32 – Peter Explains What Happened With the Gentiles04:55 – The Jewish Believers Change Their Minds06:05 – Why Eating With Gentiles Was Such a Big Deal09:03 – Holding Our Beliefs With an Open Hand12:08 – The Gospel Goes Beyond Jewish Culture14:59 – The Church in Antioch15:46 – Barnabas Finds Saul16:56 – Why Slow Growth Can Be Healthy20:44 – Agabus Predicts a Famine21:00 – Does Prophecy Still Happen Today?23:37 – How Do We Test Prophecy?25:23 – Prophetic Dreams & Experiences27:21 – False Prophecy & Spiritual Abuse28:09 – What Makes a Prophecy Trustworthy?29:05 – Generosity in the Early Church30:39 – Why Were They Called Christians?
