Harry Wilson closes the series in Antioch, with a leadership list worth reading slowly — racially and socially mixed, which is itself the argument. The sending happens inside worship and fasting rather than inside a strategy meeting.

Acts ends with Paul under house arrest, receiving visitors morning to evening. Some were convinced, others would not believe — recorded without embarrassment. He treats the rejection not as failure but as information about where to go next.

Peter says “I now realise,” which means he previously did not — the whole episode exists to move him. Greg Ehlert preaches it as evangelism, and the scripture is read from Edinburgh by an elder whose church had just hosted Adam and Sean.

Joe Brandi starts where Acts does, with persecution scattering the church. The evangelism here is a by-product of displacement — and Philip opens with a question rather than a pitch, meeting a man already reading and already stuck.

The Commission spends its verbs on what happens after conversion — baptising, teaching, obeying — which is long, repetitive and unreportable. The promise attached is proportionate: a commitment to accompany a process rather than attend a launch.

“All authority has been given to me, therefore go.” Pastor Adam puts the weight on the therefore, and on verse seventeen, where worship and doubt are recorded in the same breath and the commission is handed to the mixed group anyway.
