Unity is a beautiful thing. But what happens when that unity is separated from the truth of the Christian faith?

Join Pastor Greg on this episode of Pulpitless as he takes us on a sweeping journey through the first twelve chapters of Acts, exploring how a small group of believers in Jerusalem became a world-changing movement. From the dramatic events of Pentecost where three thousand souls were saved in a single day, to the shocking conversion of Christianity's greatest persecutor on the Damascus road, these chapters reveal the unstoppable power of the Holy Spirit working through ordinary people.

In this episode of Pulpitless, Pastor Greg unpacks the powerful truth that faithful messengers matter. Looking at the life of Silvanus (also known as Silas), we see how God entrusted him with crucial moments in the early church—from carrying the Jerusalem Council’s letter that shaped the future of Christianity, to planting churches alongside Paul, to faithfully delivering Peter’s letter with scars that testified to his endurance. Silvanus wasn’t just a courier of words; he was a living witness to the message he carried. His faithfulness wasn’t casual reliability but covenant faithfulness—the same word Scripture uses to describe God Himself.

This episode challenges us to recover the importance of faithful messengers in our own day. In a world that often values polished content over tested character, God still works through men and women who embody the message of the gospel with their lives. Just as the early believers saw the grace of God in Silvanus’ scars and steadfastness, we are called to both recognize and become faithful messengers today—people whose lives and words align to proclaim the unchanging “Yes” of Christ.
