—Acts 13:1-5
by: Dorothy Noel.
When the Holy Spirit spoke, the apostles acted quickly to follow the instructions they received. But how did they hear so clearly the call to send Saul and Barnabas? Verse 1 says they were gathered as a church, ministering to the Lord and fasting. They all heard the call on Saul and Barnabas because they all were listening for God’s voice. This revelation of sending came through the ordinary means of God’s people gathering in community before Him—just like we do each week. Whether in the first church of Antioch or in the church you attend this Sabbath, the Holy Spirit will call to each of us. Will you be listening?
