God’s Strengthening Word: Putting Faith Into Actionਨਮੂਨਾ

Introduction

Acts 13:13–25: Paul and his companions continue their missionary journey and arrive in Antioch in Pisidia, a Roman colony in Asia Minor (modern Turkey). Paul delivers an important speech that outlines the history of salvation, beginning with God’s deliverance of the ancestors of the people of Israel from their bondage in Egypt.

Today’s Key Verse: Acts 13:23 GNT

[Paul preached:] “It was Jesus, a descendant of David, whom God made the Savior of the people of Israel, as he had promised.”

Reflect

Who invites Paul and his companions to speak to the congregation (verse 15)? How does Paul address those gathered to hear his message (verse 16)? What key events in Israel’s history of salvation does Paul recount? In what ways does your community of faith recall God’s salvation history?

Pray

Sovereign God, as you promised, you sent Jesus to be our Savior. You are ever faithful, and I worship you each day and place my trust in you. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
