Lesson Five Handout - Philippians 2:1-4
Even Paul and Barnabas, in Acts 15:46-16:10, fall into conflict. They let their ministry desires rule them. But God's grace is bigger! God continues to use both of them as they learn to trust God's grace and yield to God's Spirit. Listen to consider what this looks like practically in our lives.

Lesson Four Handout - Following the Wonderful Counselor
Have I done enough? Am I good enough? Questions like these can trouble our souls and we wonder if we are truly accepted by God. God has made Himself clear - salvation is by grace, not works. Listen to consider what that means for all of us - to be saved by grace, and then to live by grace.

Lesson Three Handout - Understanding Your Heart Struggle
The threat of discomfort can keep us from doing what God has called us to do. But even when faced with discomfort, maybe even someday faced with tribulation and persecution, we must stay on mission. We must keep proclaiming the gospel!

Lesson Two Handout - The Heart Is the Target
In Acts 13, we get a glimpse of the missionary “tactics” of Paul and Barnabas. They go to the synagogue and preach the “word of the Lord.” By Jesus’ death and resurrection in place of sinners, God provided salvation for anyone who will believe. Though some believe and some reject, God uses that message to produce growth. God grows the church as we share the gospel of Jesus Christ with all people.

Lesson One Handout - Do We Really Need Help
The success of the mission of the church is not dependent on tactics or methods. In Acts 13, we see clearly that the advance of the gospel to all people is generated by the Holy Spirit. He is the key. Listen to consider how the Holy Spirit works through the church to accomplish God's mission - and how you can share in the "success" of God's mission.
