In Acts 14 & 15, Paul and Barnabas continue on the mission Jesus assigned - spreading the Gospel message of Jesus to the ends of the earth. They experienced severe persecution along the way, but they stayed on mission no matter what as they followed the lead of the Holy Spirit and saved lives for eternity. We are not here to merely "hang out and collect things" until we die. We are here to save souls for eternity. We have a mission and a commission from Jesus Himself to spread His message and make disciples wherever He sends us, one person at a time. When we humbly surrender our hearts and wills to Jesus trusting that He will strengthen us through anything and everything that comes, we can be the voice Jesus created us to be. Jesus said the world will know us by our love and unity so we need to unite and stay laser focused on Jesus and the mission He assigned. We can choose to humbly gather together and follow the Holy Spirit and His wisdom in every step and every exhale.
