We start with Saul, a persecutor of those who believed in Jesus, and the story of his conversion to faith in Jesus. Following his conversion we know him as the Apostle Paul. Chapter 11 takes place in Antioch in Syria, a place of moral decay and yet Christianity is exploding there. Barnabas brings Paul there and for the next year Paul and Barnabas work together to ground the new believers in the scriptures and help them grow their faith as followers of Christ. This city is where believers were first called Christians. It is here in Antioch that the modern missionary movement takes root. What we see in the rest of Acts is God using believers from this Antioch community to go out into the entire Roman world. The church (body of believers) in Antioch was one of the most influential in history. In chapter 13 we see the missionary strategy: ⁃ They worshipped, fasted, prayed and then the Holy Spirit tells them what to do, "set apart Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on Saul and Barnabas and sent them off to preach where God was leading them. Note: Their missionary strategy was not to set up a meeting and decide what we will do and then close with prayer asking God to bless it. God is the One who gives His strategy for His believers to reach the rest of the world. And that is something we today need to recapture. The Holy Spirit still speaks today, still moves today, and still leads and guides His people. Pastor focuses on 3 of Paul's sermons. Each has as different strategy but the message is the same: repent and believe 1.Chapter 13:16-51. This sermon happens during Paul's First Missionary journey, in a synagogue in Antioch of Pisidia, a message to devout Jews and to Gentiles who are not yet full converts. Paul begins this message with the revealed knowledge of God and shares the history of the people of Israel and the fulfillment of all through Jesus Christ. Speaking to religious people he tells them to repentance and to have faith and warns them not to make the mistake of turning away from God. The people are attentive listeners and growing in faith and the enemy begins to push back and Paul and Barnabas have to leave for their safety. 2. Chapter 17:16-34. This sermon was preached In the city of Athens - a beautiful city filled with pagan temples and idols. It takes place during Paul's Second Missionary Trip. His message is to pagans, a group of people who know nothing about Jesus. He talks to them about the "unknown god" and the natural knowledge of God. He teaches them the heart of the Gospel message and tells them they need to repent. - this is the message Jesus - and to believe in Jesus' Good News. 3. Chapter 20:13-37 This sermon happens during Paul's Third Missionary journey, in Miletus. Paul sends for the Elders of the church of Ephesus. His message is directed to the elders of the Christian church. These are Christian people that know the Good News of Jesus. He tells them that he and they will experience persecution, that it will come from the outside world but also from within the church. Paul brings them the heart of the gospel message and he reminds them that they need to repent, that Jesus shed His blood, that He is risen from the grave and He is coming back. No matter who Paul talked to the message was always the same: 1. Repent 2. Believe the Good New of Jesus It is often the "religious" people who react most violently against a message of repentance. Being good and thinking God is nice - is not enough - that is not Biblical faith. Biblical faith is God does all things to draw us to Himself and our response is that we realize we are sinners and need a Savior. As a result of understanding our need for Jesus (Savior) we repent and turn to Him receiving forgiveness and life and the Holy Spirit. We are to have a relationship with Him and experience the Holy Spirit in our lives. It's not about doing things and going through motions. It's about knowing the Living God and receiving new life in Him. Pastor shares a personal testimony and how repentance should draw us to our knees. The class closes with a look at Paul's Voyage to ...
