Acts #38: The Church Empowered "Devotion vs. Indifference " (Acts 13:13-48)

I believe what God wants us to take away this week is 2- or 3-fold:

  • First, Obviously, Hear, Know, and Believe the Gospel!
    • What it is, and how to share it with various people types and people groups.
  • Second, Devotion vs. Indifference
    • We’re shown two different responses in these people groups in Antioch Pisidia.
      • God-Fearing Gentiles responded with excited DEVOTION.
      • Devout Jews responded with a stubborn INDIFFERENCE to their own Messiah.
    • It’s been 15 years post-Cross-and-Resurrection.
  • These Jews KNEW about Jesus.
  • They hadn’t been - as far as we know - officially presented the gospel like this.
  • But they surely KNEW about Jesus being declared as the Jewish Messiah.
    • And yet, still lived as if nothing had changed.
