O Chamado para os Gentios: O Início das Missões Transculturais | Lição 1 | Central EBD Podcast 🌍🔥

Lesson 1: The Holy Spirit Separates and Sends – Ground Zero for World Missions! Welcome to the premiere of a new journey of Bible studies on the Central EBD Podcast! In this Lesson 1, we return to the book of Acts to witness the moment when the church in Antioch became the great center for spreading the Gospel to the world. Our base text, Acts 13:2, records the direct and unmistakable command from on High: "While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, 'Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.'" We analyze how an environment of worship, fasting, and service prepared the ground for God's voice to be heard. We study that the call to the Gentiles was not a historical accident, but a divine plan so that salvation would reach all nations, tribes, and languages. This is a fundamental lesson on obedience, the importance of listening to the voice of the Spirit, and the role of the local church in confirming and sending those whom God has set apart. In this episode, we will learn: The Church in Antioch: Why this church became the perfect model of diversity and readiness for missionary work. The Voice of the Holy Spirit: How to discern God's calling amidst the activities of the church. Setting Apart and Sending: The theological meaning of the laying on of hands and the responsibility of the sending church. The Target (Gentiles): Breaking down cultural and religious barriers so that the Gospel could break through the borders of Israel. Barnabas and Saul: The partnership between the "Son of Consolation" and the future "Apostle to the Nations" as a divine strategy.
