Introduction:
We are going to be in this morning
Today we continue with our journey through the book of Acts
We find our theme from
And we are continuing today with a new missionary journey
Read
1. New Helpers
· Continuing on from
o Last week we discussed the separation of Paul and Barnabas
· Today we are going to see how God continues to work, regardless of the choices we make.
o I do want to point out that Paul and Barnabas disagreed about the workers in the mission, not the mission itself.
o Neither of the men broke fellowship with God, just one another.
· We closed last week with Barnabas and Mark sailing off to Cyprus and Paul after choosing Silas went through Syria and Cilicia.
· We pick up in
· We find Paul back in Derbe and Lystra.
o Lystra was where Paul was stoned and left for dead outside the city.
(chapter 14)
· We find with his return trip, Paul wanting to take along a young man named Timothy.
o We can read that Timothy was well known, and that he was well thought of in not just his home town of Lystra but also Iconium.
· It is always interesting when we recognize God working.
o Here we have this split between great friends
o But God is bringing new people together and all for His greater purpose.
· Let’s talk about the how and the why.
o First, we must always remember God’s will.
o We find in Scripture
§
§
o That God does not want any to perish but for all to come to Him.
§ This is not to say that all will be saved, but God’s love extends to all and that His gift of salvation is for all, but we know that all will not choose it.
o The how within these verses, is brought about in the new relationships being formed.
§ Instead of Paul and Barnabas we now have Paul, Silas, and Timothy.
§ Do you know what new people mean for the ministry; new workers?
o For Paul, this meant the work being continued, when he was called home.
§ Replacements
· Something that we all should be doing, is creating replacements.
· When we create replacements, we create new opportunities.
2. New Opportunities
· With new people in place, new opportunities became available
· Notice
· For what ever reason Paul wanted to go east so as to spread the gospel in today’s Asia Minor
· But the Holy Spirit said no.
o We need to be sensitive to what the Holy Spirit says to us.
o We dare not let our feelings lead what we do.
· With Paul listening to the Holy Spirit he ended up in Macedonia.
o This has a huge world impact when we think how the church has grown till now
· New opportunities will bring new Christians
3. New Christians
· A woman with an open heart
o Lydia, the first European convert
· A girl with a possessed heart
o Satan always at work
· A man with a hard heart
o A Roman jailer
Conclusion:
Sometimes things change
We need to recognize that God is still working regardless of that change
We need to see the new people that God has put in our lives.
