Acts 13:1-3
The origins of Christianity involve unlikely people used by God in unprecedented ways
“We are but of yesterday, but we have filled every place among you cities, islands, fortresses, towns, market places, the very camp, tribes, companies, palace, senate, forum we have left nothing to you but the temples of your gods.” –Tertullian 200 CE
“No single event, apart from the Christ-event itself, has proved so determinant for the course of Christian history as the conversion and commissioning of Paul.” - FF Bruce
The church was a racially and socially diverse team
God directed the church through worship and fasting
God chooses Saul (Paul) and Barnabas to spread the good news of Jesus to the non-Jewish world
The church sent them out. The greatness of a church is in its ability to send others out for the progress of the Gospel
Paul and Barnabas experience success, rejection and opposition on their trip
The future of Christianity will involve unlikely people used by God in unprecedented ways
When God calls:
•Will we hear?
•Will we respond?
•Will we endure?
“The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to him. By God’s help, I aim to be that man.” D.L. Moody
