Sabbath Preaching
  • Acts 131-3 The Church at Antioch
  • Describe who is present and what role they may be
    playing.
  • Barnabus - a Levite from Cyprus
  • Simeon Niger, of African descent
  • Lucius of Cyrene west of Egypt
  • Manaen foster-brother to Herod Antipas
    (tetrarch), son of Herod the Great
  • Saul the one converted, taught by the Lord
    Jesus Christ, now 10 eyars later and soon to be
    Paul
  • Notice the prayer, fasting and laying on of hands
    that preceded Saul and Barnabus being set apart,
    and that only Saul and Barnabus were called by
    the Holy Spirit.
  • How did this get communicated?
  • To what work were they called?

The Acts of the Apostles
Acts 131-43 Pauls 1st Missionary Journey
Sabbath Preaching
  • Acts 34-12 The Journey Begins unto Cyprus
  • Seleucia the port city for Antioch
  • This 1st journey began in April 47 A.D. and
    lasted until they returned to Antioch in
    September 48 A.D.
  • Note the events that ensued, almost certainly all
    on Roman roads
  • At Salamis, a major and largest city on Cyprus
    they preached the gospel in the synagogues
  • This is a pattern of Pauls mission - the
    synagogue 1st and then to the gentiles.
  • And John Mark was with them.
  • On Pathos, the capital and where the Roman
    government was centered on Cyprus, they were
    confronted by Bar-jesus (son of Jesus) (AKA
    Elymas the sorcerer, Arabic), a false prophet,
    and the proconsul Sergius Paulos (Roman leader)
    shows up too.
  • Bar-jesus is a false Christ has this
    personification changed much today?
  • Saul and Barnabus summoned (called unto).
  • Was this because Sergius Paulos wanted to hear
    the Word of the Lord?

  • The term called does not imply this thus,
    probably part of his job description.
  • Saul now to be called Paul why and why now?
  • Paul challenges him as full of guile, son of the
    devil, enemy of righteousness
  • Why do you continue to pervert the right ways of
    the Lord?
  • And Paul via the power of the Holy Spirit blinded
    Bar-jesus remember Paul?
  • And, Sergius Paulos believed when the Word of God
    was preached.
  • No more job description one very important way
    the Lord brings some home.
  • Acts 13 13-43 The Journey Continues and Moses
    through Jesus Christ Reviewed
  • Lets take a look and see where Paul
  • and Barnabus are at but no longer
  • John Mark (back to Jerusalem).
  • John Mark Paul calls him a deserter
  • Before Pauls 2nd journey - Acts 1536-38)
  • Why?
  • John Mark was Barnabus cousin (Col 410).
  • Is this an important issue?

  • This Antioch is not from whence they departed but
    of Pisidia.
  • 1st of the Galatian churches.
  • And again, the synagogue is first entered.
  • Notice now what Paul reveals to the Men of
    Israel the sermon - (Acts 1316-41) begins
  • As was typical the Torah was 1st read and then
    readings of the prophets with comments from
    elders to follow.
  • And Paul volunteered.
  • The fathers of Israel were chosen and exalted in
    the wilderness.
  • After many battles vs. 7 nations in Canaan (Deut
    71) God gave them the promised land for 450
    years.
  • Then judges, the prophet Samuel and then King
    Saul for 40 years.
  • David, a man after Gods Own heart, would be the
    seed for the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • And then Paul goes 1000 years forward and
    mentions John the Baptist, who first preached the
    baptism of repentance.

  • The Jewish men who fear God were then challenged
  • Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham and
    those among you that fear God
  • Are these being addressed (v. 26) or are they the
    ones also identified in v.27 who condemned Jesus
    and sent Him through Pilate to the tree?
  • Probably represents two different classes of
    Jews, and also Gentiles. .
  • Acts 1330 But God raised Him from the dead.
  • Paul then references Psalms 27 and 1610 to show
    how the prophecies of David had been fulfilled.
  • And then the epitome of the sermon, Acts 1338,39
  • Acts 1338,39 - Be it known unto you therefore,
    brethren, that through this man is proclaimed
    unto you remission of sins and by him every one
    that believeth is justified from all things, from
    which ye could not be justified by the law of
    Moses.
  • Paul now warns the Jewish men - Behold, ye
    despisers, and wonder, and perish For I work a
    work in your days, A work which ye shall in no
    wise believe, if one declare it unto you.
  • What happened after the sermon was completed?

  • Some of the Jews and the devout proselytes
    (converted Gentiles) expected another
    opportunity next week?
  • Others went with Paul and Barnabus.
  • And they were urged to continue in the grace of
    God (v. 43).
