Event: The Council’s letters to Gentile Believers
S - Scripture
Acts 15 v. 22 Then it seems good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabus.
O – Observation
Reinforcements. That's what this verse is all about. Paul and Barnabus had spent some fruitful time in Antioch, but the Jewish leaders created such opposition they had to leave. But the work was not yet done. So they brought in some reinforcements. It’s a common but great strategy. Establish a presence and then build upon it. It’s the strategy each of us should employ on a very micro level - yourself. We can't live our lives content to be where we are in our faith. The pull of the enemy is strong. We need to bring in reinforcements to our faith daily. We do this by reading the Bible, thinking about what we read, applying its, praying, surrounding ourselves with other Christian friends.
A - Application
Am I bringing in the reinforcements in on a daily basis?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Equip me, strengthen me daily. Love Will
