The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the
branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit,
for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
Acts 13:1-12
Pray that God will speak to you
through the reading of His word.

The Form and Function of the Church
o
The church in Antioch was made up of
diverse people. How do you think having
people from different backgrounds, with different talents, strengthened their
church?
o
The church saw its purpose as the
worship of, and glorifying of God. Do
you see that as your purpose?
-
Glorifying Christ rather than the
Church
o
The church in Antioch was admirably
selfless, as it willingly surrendered some of its most prominent leaders to the
mission of spreading the gospel elsewhere.
What is the different between glorifying Christ and glorifying the
church?
-
Confronting Evil
o
Paul stands toe to toe with evil
forces that seek to stymie the gospel.
What evil forces might we have to confront before the gospel can be
heard?
Pray that we will seek to glorify
God in our lives.
Pray that our church’s mission will
be to glorify Christ, rather than ourselves.
Pray that we will have the strength
to confront evil so that the gospel will be heard.
