Tom Shrader walks through Acts 13:1-12, the pivotal chapter where the early church at Antioch sends Barnabas and Saul on the first missionary journey, showing how the Holy Spirit directs real, ordinary people into God's redemptive work. He emphasizes the diverse makeup of the Antioch church and the sovereign power of God at work through human obedience, including the dramatic confrontation with the sorcerer Elymas and the conversion of Sergius Paulus. Shrader closes by pressing listeners to see themselves as missionaries in their everyday contexts — at work, at home, and in their neighborhoods — motivated not by duty but by the love of Christ. “Witnessing isn't optional, it's not mandatory, it's inevitable.
