In Acts 13: 42-52, we witness the powerful impact of the Gospel message as Paul and Barnabas proclaim it to both Jews and Gentiles in Antioch. Their message sparks various reactions among the listeners, ranging from eager acceptance to vehement rejection. Yet, amidst the diversity of responses, we find important lessons about perseverance, faithfulness, and the sovereignty of God.
During our service, we will explore the following key points:
• Reception of the Gospel: Reflecting on how different individuals responded to the Gospel message and what it teaches us about sharing our faith in today's world.
• Opposition and Perseverance: Examining the challenges Paul and Barnabas faced and drawing inspiration from their unwavering commitment to spreading the Gospel despite obstacles.
• Divine Sovereignty: Considering how God's sovereignty is evident in the unfolding events, even in the face of rejection and opposition.
