As world continues to change by becoming more post-Christian and adapting to a post-pandemic world, the church finds itself in a period where change is the new normal. For this season, we are looking at the book of Acts to remind ourselves how the early church followed God as God led the church into the future that was unfolding before them.

We can forget that Paul was human. Throughout his journeys, Paul became frustrated—as we all would given the situations and conflicts Paul dealt with on a regular basis. How did Paul keep going? At just the right moment God gave Paul the encouragement he needed. And God will do the same for us.

As Paul walks through the city of Athens, he sees idols to all the different gods—including the idol to an unknown god. Paul takes the opportunity to share with the Athenians who that God is. It would be a mistake to think that it is only ancient cultures that are full of idols. We have ours as well. Even those of us who follow Jesus may still have unknown gods in our lives that need to be seen and dealt with.

Acts 13 gives us a unique picture of the unique relationship between the Spirit and the church. The church does not operate independently from the Spirit, nor the Spirit without the church. God has chosen the church to unite itself to what God is doing in the world. Where the Spirit goes, the church follows. What the Spirit does, the church cooperates with. This is what God intends for his body on earth.
