EPISODE 0264 | Biblical Surrender and the Missionary Call from Acts 13
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0264
The Church wasn’t meant to sit still—it was meant to be sent.
In this message from Acts 13, Pastor Daniel teaches on the very first intentional missionary sending of Paul and Barnabas from the church at Antioch. This moment marks a major turning point in the book of Acts—from the gospel spreading through persecution to the gospel spreading through intentional obedience. It’s a challenge to every believer: you are on mission, not just overseas—but in your everyday life, your neighborhood, and your family.
From spiritual warfare to faithful preaching to the irreplaceable role of the local church, this episode will stir your heart and sharpen your vision for what it means to live sent.
