Scripture: Acts 13:1-12

Main Idea. The missionary work of Paul and Baranbas is authored by the Spirit and affirmed by the local church for the purpose of taking the gospel to God's people. 1. The Spirit Sets Apart and the Church Affirms (1–3) 2. The Spirit Sends for the Church to Speak (4–7) 3. The Devil Seeks to Turn People Away from God’s Word (8–11) Application. What are the obstacles that tempt you to keep from the word of God? 4. Some See and Believe the Lord’s Teaching (12) Response. Pursue following Christ tenaciously. Pray for some of us to be set apart for missions.
