Summary
And just to remind ourselves of the outline of the book of Acts, it's stated very early in the book, where Jesus says, you'll be my disciples in Jerusalem. When we started the study together, my prayer in the very first sermon, as we started our walk through the book of Acts, was that we might be a people that by God's grace exemplify more and more the positive characteristics of the early church. And whereas God's Spirit was moving in Antioch, the mother church there in Jerusalem, dispatches Barnabas, Barnabas to lights here in what is occurring in Antioch, the expansion of the gospel to the Gentiles. So that the people there in the church would be saturated with the Word of God, that they would literally be drenched by the Word of God. And there in chapter 15, verse 35 it says, but Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch and there with many others. Saturated with the word sent forth, not surprised at the struggle and secure in the word.
