In Acts 13, we witness a pivotal turning point in church history — the moment when the gospel begins to move beyond the borders of Israel and into the Gentile world. The church in Antioch becomes a sending church, a community deeply rooted in worship, fasting, and prayer. It’s here that the Holy Spirit speaks, setting apart Paul and Barnabas for the first missionary journey — a moment that would forever shape the direction of the early church.
In this message, Pastor Harley Doneburg unpacks the heart and power of this passage, showing us that God still calls His people today to live with the same sensitivity, faith, and obedience to the Holy Spirit. The mission of the church didn’t end in Acts — it continues through us. When God’s people are filled with His Spirit, they are sent with His power, and their lives bear fruit for His kingdom.
