Acts 13

It is hard to imagine what it was like for Paul & Barnabas to travel to new regions preaching about Jesus. The opposition they encountered, they miracles they experienced. There must have been moments of great fear and moments of overwhelming joy. The people they encounter don't always respond as we would hope, but what Acts makes clear is that God is always with them.

  1. I cannot imagine how Paul and Barnabas felt since they knew they were following God's will and direction - and yet were sometimes totally rejected (and even imprisoned). Many of us have probably had experiences in which we felt directed by God but then we were chastised or things just didn't work! Paul had such tremendous trust which should be a role model for us - to keep on keeping on when we KNOW that what we are doing is God's spirit working in and through us.
