In Acts 13, we reach a turning point: the church in Antioch sends out its first missionaries, Paul preaches his first recorded sermon, and the Word of the Lord breaks through opposition to reach new hearts. Here we see a pattern that continues to our day: the Spirit sets apart, the Savior satisfies God’s promises, and the Scriptures shine through suffering. And because of that, we can say with confidence: God still calls, Christ still completes, and the Spirit still carries His people with boldness and joy.
