Bible Text: Acts 13:1-12 | Todd Dugard
Series: The Book of Acts
A couple of significant shifts happen in Acts 13. The book has primarily focused on Peter through chapter 12, but for the rest of Acts it will tell the story of Paul’s missionary journeys. Along with that, the emphasis moves from preaching to Jews in Judea and Galilee to taking the gospel to Gentiles in regions throughout the Roman world. As we look at Acts 13:1-12 this Sunday, we’ll see that the church in Antioch set apart Paul and Barnabas for a specific mission that begins on Barnabas’ home island of Cyprus. What we’ll see is that the mission of the church is the mission of each individual believer as well. The question that must be asked is, “What role do I play in particular?”
