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.
