Pericope: Acts 13:1-3 ESV - Now there were in the church at

Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was

called Niger,[a] Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a lifelong friend of

Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 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.” 3 Then after

fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them

off.

Sermon Text: Acts 13:3 Then after fasting and praying they laid

Sermon Title: Chosen – The Journey to being Chosen

Introduction:  Matt 28:18-20 18 And Jesus came and said to

them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them

in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And

behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” and

Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has

come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in

all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

It is the preamble, if you will that sets the stage for 3 missionary

journeys:
