Paul & Barnabas continue to preach the Gospel, heal the sick, and clearly show that a Christian's authority grows at the same rate as their humility.

In Acts 13, Paul and Barnabas go out on ministry together. As they travel, we see hands and feet being used to spread the good word of God. We are called to use our hands to help others and our feet to follow God.

An angel appears to Cornelius, and Peter sees a vision. Acts 10 teaches us that Peter needed to drop his prejudice against the gentiles and have the courage to bring the message of Christ to them through Cornelius. Ultimately, we learn religious activity is insufficient for salvation and that God wants something FOR us more than He wants something FROM us.

Brian Clark shares how any one of us can be an encouraging Barnabas in today's culture of discouragement.

The newly formed Church endures the first wave of persecution, which only furthers God's mission. Philip exposes and confronts a knockoff Jesus, and an Ethiopian eunuch trusts in Jesus and is baptized after reading the book of Isaiah.

Gamaliel, a wise rabbi during the time of Acts, represents someone who knows the Word and knows better than to take a neutral position on Jesus, but did so anyway. Don't be like Gamaliel. Stand up for Jesus, stand on His Word and yield to the power of His Spirit. When we do, the Church's new spiritual organization - opposite of the Sanhedrin's corruption - walks in fresh authority.

Ananias & Sapphira represent a modern cultural phenomenon called "Christian Virtue Signaling" that implicates them as living a life of duplicity. Christians are called to live a life of singularity and adopt the mind of God founded on the Word.
