DATE: July 16, 2023
THEME: Stay faithful and cling to Jesus
SCRIPTURE: Acts 11:19-30
The gospel goes to Antioch! Some disciples from Cyrene (including Simon, the man who carried the cross of Jesus) and the island of Cyprus, go down to Antioch to share the gospel and it is a wild success! The great city of Antioch is bustling with the new faith, so Barnabas goes down there from Jerusalem, and he ALSO has wide success. To handle the growth and discipleship of this new and flourishing church, Barnabas goes to Tarsus, gets Saul, and takes him back to Antioch where they do ministry together for several years.
