The Call of God - Agassiz & Lake Errock
A shift takes place in Acts 13 from a focus on Peter and the church in Jerusalem to Paul and Barnabas and the advance of the gospel to the nations. The remainder of Acts recounts the Holy Spirit enabling missionaries to fulfill the call Jesus made to “be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (1:8). Acts 13 outlines the components of this clear & compelling call, and the dynamics one should expect while living on mission – the mission of advancing the gospel that God still has for His church.
