Acts 13:1 - 13:41
ActsSteve Gregg
In Acts 13, the leadership team of Antioch, including Simeon called Niger and Lucius Cyrene, directs Paul and Barnabas for missionary work. Prioritizing preaching to Jews before Gentiles, Paul begins his evangelistic efforts in synagogues and encounters a sorcerer named Bar Jesus. Paul's longest sermon takes place in Perga where he asserts that Jesus, who is of the line of David, is the promised Savior that God had raised from the dead. The main theme of Paul's preaching is justification by faith, which means that whoever believes in Christ is acquitted of their sins and justified before God.
