Good evening guys!
It is super awesome to be with you tonight!
I am really just thrilled to be with you all.
I missed you guys over the last couple of weeks.
So I want you to know this as I was preparring for tonights talk a lot of joy filled my heart knowing I would get to be with you guys.
If you have your Bibles go ahead and open up to and we are going to look at vere 1-3 for some context and then we are going to dive right into chapter 14
Just a quick refreshare.
Jesus ascends into HEaven- Gives them a promise
- The spirit falls.
The expierence the power of God and the gospel spreads.
Beatiful picture let’s look at it 42-47
- Peter and John heal a dude and preach the gospel in the temple
acts 4 arrested told to be quite- Place where they prayed was shaken
- We see tradegy- Annais and sapharie.
Teaching us a few things.
First God takes sin seriosuly and second there are no perfect churches
acts 6- Men chosen to wait tabels- Introduced to Stephen
- Stephen is Killed(Paul)(Up to this pon’t the gospel hadn’t gone out of Jereusalm but as stephen is killed the gospel begins to spread.
- More Paul
- Paul gets saved
acts 10- Peter vision
-
- James is killed
and by the church begins to send out missionsaries.
Read acts 13-1-3
Diversity in the church and something else really cool.
look at verse 2. While they where worhsip the Lord there call came.
Let’s go back to -16-20
We call it the great commission.
In fact a lot of what we do as far as going on mission in the church is based on this text.
But there is actaully a first step we see in verse 16
18 And Jesus came and said to them, h“All authority iin heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19 jGo therefore and kmake disciples of lall nations, jbaptizing them min2 nthe name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them oto observe all that pI have commanded you.
And behold, qI am with you always, to rthe end of the age.”
I love it.
I’ve been reading a book called the unhurried life lately and in the book the Author qoutes Paul Jensen when talking about this passage.
saying our view of the great comission needs to be widened.
Jenese states there are 2 comissions here.
First- Jesus told his disicpels to go to the mountain.
Meet him there, see him worship him, and expierencing his unconditinoal love, especially in the midst of their doubt.
the dsecond commission is to go and make disiples of all nations.
This is how missions is birthed.
IT’s birthed out of a growing reality of who Jesus is and what he wants to do through us.
And eys we are going to have dobuts in the midst of those moments but what I love about Jesus is he meets us in the midst of our doubts.
and to be honest if we always knew how what he has called us to do would play out we might not do it.
a lot of times
That’s why missions has to start with a heart of worhsip.
And it’s out of our intamciy with Christ that our power to accomplish what he has called us to do flows.
so here is the thing.
What do we notice in acts 13
The same thing.
Here si the early church and what are they doing.
Worshiping the Lord and fasting.
In otherwords they are setting aside time to be with Jesus and it’s out of thier time with Jesus they are called and sent off to be on mission for him.
and it leads to a great question.
At what point does our tendecy to hurry interfere with Gods call on our life
Most people have just thought the main command is go.
But really it’s 2 commands.
Be with me so As you go you can make disiciples that’s it
and what we learn is this making disciples will be some of the most rewarding and difficlut parts of our lives
I often wonder if Paul knew everything that was going to happen ove the next years would he have gone?

So it’s interesting right?
The ministry starts off amazing.
It’s almost similar to how Peter and Johns ministry started in Acts chapter 3
Paul sees this means reponse to what God is doing.
Paul would ocntinue to share good news.
but something intersting happend.
Becasue of some ancient legend that Zeus and Hermes had come seeking to be human the people who lived there believed that they had finally come in the form of Paul and Barnabas
So they began to worship them.
they dindn’t quite understand what was going on but they had to stop it.
Show they tore their clothes and ran into the crowd shouting.
This was a way of saying.
We are just men.
so Paul begins to try and preach a sermon using a simple argument trying to help people see the nature of the gospel.
but look at verse 18 the people still had trouble.
They still wanted to sacrifice to them.
This was terrible.
Reminds me of the time I was in Africa
I have shared this before but I get it.
If you’ve ever been on misison you know that there are moments People tend to flock to you.
Furry like a lion.
There was a moment I wanted to roar like a lion but also a moment where I thoguht they might lift me up like symbia
but they didn’t
I’m sure it was more uncomftable for Paul and Baranbas.
They saw the idolatry that was happening in this area.
when they used back teh crowd got angry
v19
I mean it’s this moment that always suprises me a little Like I said I wonder if Paul knew how bad they would beat him if he would have gone.
vesre 20
He got up- Still breathing.
Still leaning in and what does he do.
He goes Right back into the city.
that’s amazing boldness.
If I am honest i’m not sure if I could do it.
But I think this is exactly what people who been impacted by the gospel do.
It’s why Paul could write for me to live is Christ and die is gain
He lived as someone who knew how short his life was
