Important Items Week of March 13, 2022 When we think of great New Testament Christians, the apostle Paul certainly comes to mind. In Acts 13 Paul’s experiences on the mission field in a way parallel our own lives. There were bumps and bruises for the apostle Paul and there were blessings and benefits. Paul would have some victories and then he would have some defeats. He would have some blessings and then he would have more bumps. We tend to have rather high expectations of a carefree life and want to live without being hassled. And if we avoid all responsibility it may seem we will be “happier.” If you don’t witness to people you won’t get put down by them. But some of the greatest joys come from seeing a person come into a relationship with Jesus Christ. You’ll never have that privilege if you don’t have a few bumps along the way talking to unbelievers about Christ. If the greatest Christian, in my opinion the apostle Paul, experienced difficulty in Sharing Christ, we may expect the same. But what a joy it will be to see people come into a relationship with Christ as well as meet with them in heaven. And really the responsibility for success belongs to the Holy Spirit and that relieves a lot of the pressure. Our responsibility is to share the claims of Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit and leave the results to God. See you Sunday.

Δ Interact Laurelwood Baptist Church Ready For Resistance Archived – March 13, 2022 View This Week’s Note View All Past Notes View This Note w/o Blanks Main Scripture Reference(s) Acts 13:42-52 Ready For Resistance March 13, 2022 / Pastor Dennis Beatty / Acts 13:42-52 God’s plan for you is to know Christ and make His love known. Your calling to witness involves blessings and bumps all along the way. The Blessings You gain respect The Jews and God-fearing non-Jews followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were urging them to continue in the grace of God. Acts 13:42-43 You experience results The next Sabbath nearly the whole city assembled to hear the Word of God. Acts 13:44 The Bumps You endure ridicule But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, and were blaspheming. Acts 13:45 You confront unreceptivity Paul said, “You judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the non-Jew.” Acts 13:46-47 The Blessings You exalt the Lord And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed. Acts 13:48 You expand the church And the word of the Lord was being spread through the whole region. Acts 13:49 The Bumps You anger the religious establishment But the Jews aroused the devout women of prominence and the leading men of the city. Acts 13: 50a You face unjust persecution And instigated a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district. Acts 13: 50b The Blessings You are filled with purpose But they shook off the dust of their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium. Acts 13:51 You are filled with the Spirit And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
