acts 13
God Where God Calls, Not Just When Man Asks Acts 13:13 13From Paphos, Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem.
There Is A Time To Be Nice And A Time To Confront. Ask God To Show You The Difference Acts 13:9-12 9Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, 10“You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? 11Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord.
God's Will Over Your Plan Acts 13:4-8 4The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus. 5When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their helper. 6They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus, 7who was an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.

A verse by verse study through the book of Acts with Pastor Chad Myhre of Calvary Chapel of Charlottesville.
Here are the six points from the message: The offer of the gospel is universal (v 38-39) We must personally believe in Jesus to be forgiven (v 38-39) We are responsible for all our sin, including unbelief in the gospel (v 40-41, 45-46, 50-51) We as Christians are the primary means God has chosen to bring unbelievers to faith (v 47; 14:1) Our faith is owing to God's appointment (v 48) We can identify the elect only when they respond positively to the gospel (v 48) Why evangelize if the doctrine of unconditional election is true? Guaranteed success! Motivation for prayer Perseverance in the face of discouragement You can watch this message here.
Go Only Where God Calls, Not Where You Have Asked. Let Him Make Your Decision. Acts 13:1-3 1Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. 2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.
Acts 13: 51-52
No power of hell, no scheme of man can thwart the efficacy of the word of God. Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.
Acts 13 - Pastor John Wilkerson - Sunday Evening, July 26, 2026 by First Baptist Church of Hammond
The Mission that Gives Life MeaningActs 13Teacher: Pastor Jim ThomasDate: August 2, 2026Everyone of us is curious about the purpose of life. Everyone of us wants to have a mission with meaning. And those longings are a sign that God designed us, heart, mind and soul, with a desire for something more than just a career, more than physical pleasures, and more than a big fat paycheck.In Acts 13, an ordinary church in Antioch discovers exactly what that "something more" looks like — a Spirit-sent mission that carries the gospel from a Roman proconsul in Cyprus to a synagogue in Asia Minor, and eventually, down through two thousand years, to us. This message traces that journey and makes the case that the deepest meaning you're searching for was never found by climbing higher — it's found by being sent.Join Pastor Jim as he walks us through the first recorded sermon by the apostle Paul and draws some timeless truths that will inspire and encourage all of us who are looking for a mission that gives life meaning.Support the showTo find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

Pastor Matthew McCleary, Associate Pastor
Saul, also called Paul, Barnabas, and John Mark are called to Cyprus. They go where the Holy Spirit who fills them up has sent them. They go faithfully to proclaim the gospel and by their obedience they witness the Holy Spirit saving others. Let the church today, walk in step with the Spirit of the Living God.
A Praying Church (Acts 13) by Harvest Church
Kingsway Community Church
In Acts 13 the Spirit moves the church from local safety in Antioch to global mission, sending Barnabas and Saul after worship, fasting, and prayer. In this message, Matthew talks through how the gospel advances through a unique leadership team, Spirit-directed obedience, and direct confrontation with darkness, never staying bottled or comfortable. Paul then preaches a clear, historical, verifiable message centered on Jesus as the promised Savior who brings forgiveness and freedom the law could never give. The gospel always demands a verdict—some rejoice and believe while others resist—and it still does the same today. Will you keep open hands, worship and fast with expectation, and proclaim the only story that saves?

Biblical church planting is an endeavor of the local church. The Holy Spirit sovereignly calls and sets apart faithful men through the normal means of grace. The church confirms that call by officially commissioning and sending them out, entrusting them to the Lord's work. Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.
In this week's message in our Bible for Regular People series, Frisco West Pastor Zach Wright walks through Paul's three missionary journeys from Acts 13-20, using maps to bring these real places and events to life. We explore why Paul went to the synagogues first, why he targeted major cities of the empire, and the deeper purpose behind his travels, one that goes far beyond simply getting people "saved." It's a message about what it really means to become a citizen of a new kingdom.

Covered three main topics on our road trip program from Grand Junction today, going about an hour and fifteen minutes. We started off with a response to a Mormon in reference to my presentation last evening at Calvary Bible Church on bridging the communication gap with Mormons. Then we looked at a fine post by Ron Henzel on Acts 13:48 in response to Provisionists actually pushing the NWT's tortured rendering of that text. We then got back to the Confession of Dositheus, and finished looking at Decree 3, noting how it uses the same prevenient grace argumentation of modern Arminianism.

Few things expose what is really in a person's heart like good news they did not expect. Paul preaches a sermon tracing the whole story of Israel straight to the forgiveness of sins through Jesus, and the town splits down the middle, the Gentiles overjoyed and others filled with jealousy. Rejection in one place simply pushed the gospel on to the next, and the messengers shook the dust off their feet and left full of joy rather than bitterness. This chapter speaks to anyone whose witness has been met with a closed door. The Rev. Gem Gabriel, pastor of St. Peter Lutheran Church in Norwalk, CT joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 13:26-52. To learn more about St. Peter Lutheran, visit stpeternorwalk.org. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen. He has ascended. And now what? Acts answers that question. Luke tells the story of how the Holy Spirit built the Church from a handful of frightened disciples in Jerusalem into a movement that reached Rome itself. Along the way, you get Pentecost, the first sermons, the first martyrs, the conversion of Paul, the first church councils, shipwrecks, riots, and the persistent, stubborn work of God through Word and Sacrament even when His people didn't have a plan. If you've ever wondered how we got from Easter morning to the Church you sit in today, this is the book. Tune in for this new series on Thy Strong Word with Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors as we open up the Book of Acts. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

The church at Antioch is worshiping and fasting when the Holy Spirit says, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul." They pray, lay hands on the two men, and send them off to proclaim the faith. From there the word runs into a sorcerer on Cyprus and into a synagogue in Pisidian Antioch, where Paul preaches the God who kept His promise and brought Israel a Savior from David's line. The Rev. Robert Smith, pastor emeritus in Ft. Wayne, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 13:1-25. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen. He has ascended.
