Event: Paul and Barnabus return to Antioch in Syria
S - Scripture
Acts 14 v. 23 And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting, they committed them to the Lord in whom they believed.
O – Observation
Building to last. That's what this verse is all about. It’s about intentionality. It’s about structure. Clearly Paul was called to be an evangelist, which had him always moving around. I'm sure that Paul was a compelling preacher. When he was present, it was a "mountain top" experience. But what happened when he left for another city? Folks would go into a valley. What happened in this verse is the Key to minimize or raise the valley. On a macro level you do this by placing and positioning men of God in your churches. On a micro level you do this by providing leadership at home, practicing your faith with your family every day, not just Sunday.
A - Application
Am I building to last, the Christian faith in my home/family?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to be a good leader for my family. Love Will
