Text for Today:
Acts 14:19-22
Questions:
1) What did Paul and Barnabas do in the newly planted churches in Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch?
2) In what manner did they commission the men they appointed?
Application:
The church of the first century was radical and passionate. With her leaders being stoned and persecuted the church was called upon to pray. While we do not live in groundbreaking times as those we live, no less, in very desperate times. The local Church is vital to the proclamation of the gospel and to the health of families. Satan, though defeated, rages against the local church attempting to try and do as much damage as possible as he knows his time is short. The elders need help, we are asking that you affirm the new leaders we put before you last Sunday and will do again this Sunday. Will you fast and pray about and for these men today?
Prayer focus:
Pray for the new leaders that we as elders are currently asking you to "affirm".
As an Elder: Aaron Eberline
As Deacons: Dennis Kesmarick, Tom Schlindwein, John Reinsch, Jonathan Wood, Jake Cadwell, Brian Canright, and Mike Davis.
