“Why We Are a Sending Church”

Acts 13:1-4

The critical importance of these verses is that they describe the first planned expansion of the gospel by an entire church, rather than by solitary individuals. This effort was begun by deliberate church decision, inspired by the Spirit, and carried out by obedient believers available to be utilized by God.

2. The Holy Spirit determines what we do (v.2)
