Acts 13, 365 DAYS OF LOVE #51: WASHING DISHES

PASSAGE: Barnabas and Saul Sent Off, On Cyprus, In Pisidian Antioch

MEMORY VERSE: review

NOTES: (v.1-12) The Holy Spirit set Saul and Barnabas apart for the work to which He has called them, so they fasted and prayed and sent them off. They went to Cyprus and met a man who was a false prophet and sorcerer who was an attendant of the proconsul. The proconsul wanted to hear the word of God, but the sorcerer opposed them. Saul was filled with the Holy Spirit and rebuked him and said, "Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind, and for a time you will be unable to see the light of sun." Immediately darkness came over him and the man became blind. The proconsul saw what had happened and believed.
-(v.13-52) Paul preached the gospel of Jesus and the resurrection to the people, and they invited him and Barnabas to speak further on the next Sabbath. But many of the Jews were jealous and talked abusively against Paul. So Paul and Barnabas answered the Jews, "Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles." The Gentiles were glad and honored the word of God, and all who were appointed believed. The word of God spread through the whole region, but the Jews tried to persecute them.

ACT OF LOVE: Today was simple. I washed the dishes lovingly and ungrudgingly when I was asked to!
