674.

The Church at Antioch

1.

Today's Passage: Acts 11:19-30


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).




2.

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.

15th strategy.
Imagine


  • Prepare your heart - that means ask Him to open you to be able to listen well.
  • Ask Jesus to bring you into the very presence of God Himself as you read instructions
  • Imagine the characters in this passage.
  • Are they facing a large enemy? or a challenge?
  • Have they followed God? or have they fled from His guidance?
  • Are they trusting God?
  • Are they experiencing pain, or loss?
  • Imagine them as friends.
  • What would you do if you were there beside them?
  • Would you be willing to encourage them?
  • What would you do if you were experiencing their story?
  • Who would you turn to for guidance? God? A mentor? Satan?
  • Ask God to show you how to lean on Him in times of attack, or challenge.
  • Thank God for His presence with you right now.


19. Meanwhile, the believers who had been scattered during the persecution after Stephen's death traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, an Antioch of Syria. They preached the Word of God, but only to Jews.
20. When the church at Jerusalem heard what had happened, they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
23. When he arrived and saw this evidence of God's blessing, he was filled with joy, and he encouraged the believers to stay true to the Lord.
24. Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and strong in faith. And many people were brought to the Lord.

25. Then Barnabas went on to Tarsus to look for Saul.
26. When he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. Both of them stayed there with the church for a full year, teaching large crowds of people (It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians.)

27. During this time some prophets traveled from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28. One of them named Agabus stood up in one of the meetings and predicted by the Spirit that a great famine was coming upon the entire Roman world. (This was fulfilled during the reign of Claudius.)"
29. So the believers in Antioch decided to send relief to the brothers and sisters in Judea, everyone giving as much as they could.
30. This they did, entrusting their gifts to Barnabas and Saul to take to the elders of the church in Jerusalem.
Acts 11:19-30 NLT
