[The Gospel According to the Acts of the Apostles – THE CHURCH IN ACTION (part 50)] 
"They Sent Them Off" (ACTS 13:1-3)
 
(1.) [v.1] As Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem back to the flourishing Antioch Church, a group of five gifted prophets and teachers arose to continue building-up the community, which included Barnabas and Saul. They were all different ethnically, culturally, socio-economically, politically, yet they were united in exercising their different teaching gifts and prophetic gifts to build up the Lord’s Church. You too have a spiritual gift(s) that the Lord has entrusted to you. *What is that gift from the Holy Spirit? Are you exercising that gift independently and individually? How can you exercise your spiritual gift(s) corporately and edifyingly with other spiritually gifted Christians that complement you? How important is unifying your gift with the different gifts of others within the multi-gifted body of Christ, His Church? How is this unity preparing you to be sent together on the same mission as Christ’s body locally and globally?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2.) [v.2a] While these five gifted prophets and teachers were worshipping and fasting, they heard the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking. *How is the Holy Spirit speaking to you while you are serving and worshipping Him, instead of before you start serving or worshipping Him? Why do we need to hear from the Holy Spirit before we are sent by the Holy Spirit? Rather than audible noise, how is the Holy Spirit heard through the written Word of God? Rather than a mystical voice, how has the Holy Spirit brought His pressing conviction of the heart through your conscience? How is the voice of the Holy Spirit heard through the voice of other spiritual leaders around you, who are preaching, encouraging, admonishing, rebuking, training, and correcting you?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3.) [v.2b] The Holy Spirit says to set apart Barnabas and Saul for the work to which He had called them. *How is the Spirit calling you to be set apart in order to prepare to be sent out for His work? What do you need to be set apart from? What is the Spirit setting you apart for?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(4.) [v.3] Barnabas and Saul do not just get sent off without a commissioned blessing. The commissioning with the laying on of prayerful hands was vital for their mission ahead. *Are you seeking a prayerful commissioning from the whole body of Christ’s Church prior to a big move elsewhere, or acting independently on your own? How important is it that the Church is united around your decision to be sent off for the Spirit’s work? And are you being a blessing with prayerful hands for those called to be sent?
 
 
[Korean translation]
“그들은 그들을 보내니라” (사도행전 13장 1-3절)
 
(1.) [1절] 바나바와 사울이 예루살렘에서 번성하던 안디옥 교회로 돌아왔을 때, 바나바와 사울을 포함하여 은사 있는 예언자이자 교사 다섯 명이 일어나 교회를 계속해서 세워 나갔습니다. 그들은 민족, 문화, 사회경제적 배경, 정치적 성향이 모두 달랐지만, 각자 다른 가르침의 은사와 예언의 은사를 사용하여 주님의 교회를 세우는 데 한마음으로 뭉쳤습니다. 여러분에게도 주님께서 맡기신 영적인 은사가 있습니다. *성령께서 주신 은사는 무엇입니까? 당신은 그 은사를 독립적으로 그리고 개인적으로 활용하고 있습니까? 당신의 은사를 보완하는 다른 영적으로 은사받은 그리스도인들과 함께 어떻게 공동체적으로 그리고 덕스럽게 활용할 수 있습니까? 그리스도의 몸, 곧 그분의 교회 안에서 다른 사람들의 다양한 은사와 당신의 은사를 하나로 모으는 것은 얼마나 중요합니까? 이러한 연합은 당신이 지역적으로나 세계적으로 그리스도의 몸으로서 동일한 사명을 위해 함께 파송되도록 어떻게 준비시켜 줍니까?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2.) [2절 상반절] 이 다섯 명의 은사 있는 예언자들과 교사들이 예배하며 금식하는 동안, 그들은 성령의 음성을 들었습니다. *성령님은 여러분이 그분을 섬기고 예배하기 전이 아니라, 섬기고 예배하는 동안 어떻게 여러분에게 말씀하고 계십니까? 성령님께서 우리를 보내시기 전에 왜 우리는 성령님의 음성을 들어야 합니까? 들리는 소음이 아니라, 어떻게 하나님의 기록된 말씀을 통해 성령님의 음성을 들을 수 있습니까? 신비로운 음성이 아니라, 어떻게 성령님께서 여러분의 양심을 통해 마음에 간절한 확신을 불어넣어 주셨습니까? 여러분 주변에서 설교하고, 격려하고, 권면하고, 책망하고, 훈련하고, 바로잡는 다른 영적 지도자들의 음성을 통해 어떻게 성령님의 음성을 들을 수 있습니까?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3.) [2절 하반절] 성령께서는 바나바와 사울을 그분께서 부르신 사역을 위해 구별하라고 말씀하십니다. *성령께서는 당신이 그분의 사역을 위해 파송될 준비를 하도록 어떻게 구별하라고 부르십니까? 당신은 무엇으로부터 구별되어야 합니까? 성령께서는 당신을 무엇을 위해 구별하고 계십니까?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(4.) [3절] 바나바와 사울은 파송 축복 없이 그냥 보내진 것이 아닙니다. 기도하는 안수와 함께 이루어진 파송은 그들의 앞으로의 사명에 매우 중요했습니다. *여러분은 다른 곳으로 이사하기 전에 그리스도 교회의 ​​온 몸으로부터 기도하는 파송을 구하고 있습니까, 아니면 독자적으로 행동하고 있습니까? 성령의 사역을 위해 파송받기로 한 여러분의 결정에 교회가 하나 되는 것이 얼마나 중요합니까? 그리고 파송받도록 부르심을 받은 사람들을 위해 기도하는 안수로 축복을 베풀고 있습니까?
 
 
*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on guidance and growth for the churches and leaders to lead the Korean American community in North Dallas.
 
Scripture:
 
Romans 8:28 (ESV)
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
 
2 Timothy 1:8-9 (ESV)
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began.
 
2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
 
 
Prayer (by Deacon Jonathan Jeng):
Heavenly Father, Today we come before You with heavy hearts as we pray for all the families, businesses, and communities affected by the recent shooting that has deeply shaken the Korean American community and so many around the area. Lord, we ask that Your loving presence surround every grieving family with comfort, strength, and hope during this painful time. Once again, we are reminded that this world is broken and filled with hurt, violence, and sorrow. Yet even in the darkness, we know that we are never abandoned because we have Your guidance, mercy, and everlasting love. Though the world is broken, our faith in You makes us whole. Father, remind us of the promise found in Romans 8:28 – that in all things You work for the good of those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Sometimes good things fall apart so that better things may come together according to Your will. Help us to trust You even when we do not understand the pain before us. Teach us not to dwell only on earthly desires or personal ambitions, but to seek Your calling above all else. Your word reminds us that You have saved us and called us to a holy life, not because of anything we have done ourselves, but because of Your grace and glory. May we walk faithfully in that calling with humility and obedience. Father, renew our hearts daily and remind us that through Christ we are made new creations. Help us let go of our old identity, fears, bitterness, and brokenness, and instead live in hope and transformation that comes through You alone. Bring healing where there is pain, unity where there is division, and light where there is darkness. May Your love continue to guide the Korean American community, businesses, and all people toward compassion, love, and faith. In Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.
