The Antioch Church

Psalm 2:8 says, “Ask of Me and I will give you the nations…”

God has called Hillcrest Church to be a church as the one at Antioch. As we are also reading through the book of Acts, we know that the church at Antioch was a sending church through which God sent Paul and Barnabas as the first missionaries to the Gentile world. This is the fulfillment of God’s original plan through Israel as He spoke it to Abraham that “through you all the families of the earth will be blessed,” (Genesis 12:3).

As Pastor Mark continues to lead us into the destiny that God has for our church, I want to encourage you to pray for the nations of the world. We must ask for them or they will never be opened up to us! God has given us a vision that extends far beyond the four walls of our church—one that reaches to the ends of the earth! Let’s continually do what this Psalm tells us to do: Ask for the nations!

Blessings!
