Faithful mission means living with gospel-intentionality in our normal daily rhythms, while trusting God’s sovereign timing for gospel-opportunities. As Barnabas and Saul are sent out to preach good news across the Roman Empire, they collide with both great opportunities and great opposition. A dramatic encounter with a demonic sorcerer named Elymas ends with a Spirit-filled Saul preaching God’s Word, a blind and defeated Elymas, and the most powerful Roman official in the region becoming a follower of Jesus. As we learn to trust God’s timing and treasure the Holy Spirit, we will find that God can accomplish more through us in one day of Spirit-filled activity than we can in 10,000 lifetimes of self-reliant striving.
