In this powerful teaching from the Acts of the Apostles series, Pastor Daniel Hayworth walks through one of the most pivotal chapters in church history — Acts 13, where the Holy Spirit calls Paul and Barnabas out of the church at Antioch and sends them on the first intentional missionary journey ever recorded.

But this isn't just ancient history. Pastor Daniel reveals a pattern that applies to every Christian right now: God speaks to surrendered people, not distracted ones. He doesn't join your plan — He calls you to join His. And He doesn't measure your success the way the world does. God measures success by one thing: your obedience.

From the surrender of the Antioch church to Paul's bold confrontation with a sorcerer on the island of Cyprus, this episode traces the path of faithful believers who said yes when God called — and watched the gospel transform entire cities because of it.

What You'll Discover:

✅ Why the Church at Antioch provides the model for every believer's mission

✅ The critical difference between surrendering to God and surrendering to what you want from God

✅ How Paul confronted demonic opposition with Holy Spirit boldness on the island of Cyprus

✅ Why the same gospel that saves some people provokes hostility in others

✅ The pattern of faithful preaching that turned the Roman Empire upside down

✅ Why conversion without discipleship falls short of God's design

✅ How the local church is the foundation for every believer's calling and mission

✅ The Great Commission promise: "I am with you always, even to the end of the age"
