Introduction
Today’s reading focuses on the expansion of the gospel beyond Palestine. The church in Jerusalem sends Barnabas to Antioch (in Syria), and Barnabas invites Saul to join him. They spend a year in Antioch, meeting with and teaching the people, and in Antioch the believers are first called Christians.
Today’s Scripture: Acts 11:21 (GNT)
The Lord’s power was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
Today’s Reading
Acts 11:19-30
Reflect
Today’s reading introduces us to Barnabas who became an important leader in the early church (he is first mentioned in Acts 4:36). His name means “One Who Encourages.” How is Barnabas described? In what ways do you encourage others in their faith journey?
Pray
Lord God, empower me with your Holy Spirit and help me to tell the Good News about Jesus. Like Barnabas, teach me to encourage others to be faithful and true to you. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those in need of encouragement
Tomorrow’s Reading
Acts 12:1-25: King Herod persecutes members of the church.
