In this week’s session of our Bible study, we discuss the momentous Church Council at Jerusalem, and see the beginning of Paul’s Second Missionary Journey in Acts chapters 15 and 16. Watch with us, and if you enjoy these teachings, kindly share them to a friend.

Class notes are available here as a PDF.

EXCERPT:

The story of Paul and his team deciding to turn into Greece is a wonderful example of how we need to stay in close communication with the Holy Spirit. When we have decisions to make, we need to make it a matter of constant prayer, constant seeking of God's face. We don’t know how the Spirit told them not to remain in Asia, nor go towards the Black Sea, but somehow, He made it clear. Perhaps it was through an inner witness, a lack of peace, or through a prophetic word. In any case, Paul’s vision of a Macedonian leads them to make the fateful decision to bring the Gospel into Europe for the first time.

Next to the decision of Jerusalem Council, this is the most historic decision anybody makes in the Book of Acts. God ordained, for reasons known only to Him, that the Gospel should go first to Europe, and then spread from that base to most of the world across the centuries.
