Acts 13:1-12

When have you felt called by God to do something outside your comfort zone? What was that experience like?

What were the conditions of the church at Antioch? What had the leaders been doing when the Holy Spirit sent two of them on a mission?

Do you suppose Barnabas and Saul had any reservations about leaving the great work they were a part of at Antioch?

Why is it so important that they are being led by the Holy Spirit (verse 4) and filled with the Holy Spirit (verse 9) for this mission?

Why does Paul confront Elymas, and what happens to him? How does the proconsul respond after witnessing what happened?

Paul boldly confronted spiritual opposition. When is it right for us to take a firm stand in our faith as we encounter resistance to God’s work?
