God’s Missionaries, and Ours (Acts 13:1–4)
When a church sends its own to another culture in the cause of the Great Commission, it is a big deal. Sending missionaries to the field, like marriage, is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly but rather soberly and in the fear of God. To put it another way, we want to make sure that the missionaries we send are God’s missionaries. And if they are, then we need to prayerfully and practically and passionately embrace them as our missionaries. We have a wonderful example of this in the opening verses of Acts 13. I have always seen Acts 13 as a divine template that is to guide the local church in sending and supporting and supplicating for missionaries. In this message I want to remind and instruct us what God’s missionaries look like. There are several characteristics we will consider of God’s missionaries, which help us to claim them as our missionaries.
