Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Spiritual Renewal

DAY 21 OF 30

  

June 21

Introduction

A decision is reached by the church leaders in Jerusalem regarding the extent to which Gentile converts were to observe Jewish laws. Along with Paul and Barnabas, Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas are sent to Antioch to meet with the believers there and share with them the contents of the letter that was agreed upon by the leaders in Jerusalem.. The chapter concludes with Paul and Barnabas going their separate ways and Paul choosing Silas to travel with him.

Today’s Scripture: Acts 15:31 (GNT)

When the people read it, they were filled with joy by the message of encouragement.

Today’s Reading 

Acts 15:22-41

Reflect

Reread verses 23-29. What “rules” were outlined in the letter? How did the Gentile believers react? What caused Paul and Barnabas to separate? Do you agree with Paul’s decision regarding John Mark? (The reference to John Mark’s earlier departure is recorded in Acts 13:13.) 

Pray

Lord God, even within a community of believers, disagreements can occur. Teach me patience and understanding so that differences can be resolved peacefully, in accord with your will. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Mediators of disputes

Tomorrow’s Reading

Acts 16:1-15: Paul embarks on his second missionary journey.
