The church at Antioch changed the world.
Why? What happened? What happened in that place among those people that had never happened before?
In the world of chemistry it is called catalysis! It is where elements are brought together, and because they gather, they change–really they mutate; they change each another. Something happens that cannot un-happen.
The Atomic Bomb was catalytic both in history and in category. The church at Antioch was a spiritual explosion that changed the course of human history. In the chemical world there are substances called “inhibitors;” sometimes they are called “negative catalysts.” If “inhibitors” are introduced into a catalytic environment the potential of exponential explosive impact is negated. The church at Antioch was absent “inhibitors” and the environment was rich in catalytic components. The results were the releasing of earthshaking new realities.
Antioch was not a church, as we would recognize it; was a Kingdom-quaking movement. The spiritual reservoir became a spiritual river overflowing its banks and flooding entire cities. Antioch was a resourcing center that set its sights on the world. We will explore this spiritual explosion that changed the world. Let us pray that we could do more than explore the explosion; let us pray that we can experience Antioch!
