II.
Leaders of the Church
Back in Acts 11 the church at Antioch was a thriving church.
We asked ourselves what is a Christian.
What responsibilities come with that word?
Church at Antioch is the first gentile church community.
Paul and Barnabas have invested time and teaching into the people of God that they might grow and mature in the faith.
The church is established and doing well.
Saul—tarsus— a Jew grew up a Pharisee
Simeon—Niger—Gentile foreigner
Lucius—Cyrenion Gentile Foreigner
Manaen—Gentile…Grew up in the palace somehow
Barnabas—Cyprus—Jew Hellenized Jew—Greek
God developed leaders of all kinds—joined them together for a purpose and that is to spread the fame of Christ.
T.S.
III.
Activity of the Church
The people of God will worship--
God’s people will Fast and Pray—seeking the Lord
Paul the man from Tarsus—who wanted nothing to do with Christ and Barnabas—the Hellenized Jew are now being used by the Church to go establish and grow other churches.
Paul was called by the Lord
Paul was preordained by God
Spirit will now direct to send him out
Saul was set apart by God to spread the fame of Christ amongst the Gentiles
God’s people will be led by the Spirit
They will lay hands on Barnabas and Paul to commission them to leadership
Not just one way to do this in scripture
The laying on of hands is a symbolic, public declaration that someone has been recognized as worthy of some task and has the blessing of God and whoever is involved
Communion with God leads to more communion with God.
What does this mean for Christ’s church.
It means we are driven by the same purpose.
I love games nights
I love communing with believers in the church in functions with the church.
And we are called to have fellowship with one another and to live life together.
But their is more to the church than just these things according to Acts 13 and forward...
