UNIFYING LESSON PRINCIPLE:

Sometimes we are at a loss when unexpected events interfere with our goals. How can we keep our commitments and forge ahead? Empowered by their faith in Jesus, Paul and Barnabas preached and taught about Jesus despite a false prophet’s efforts to deter them.

CONCLUDING REFLECTION:

We do not always understand when events occur that prevent us from accomplishing our desired results. But if our cause is clear, and if we are walking in our God-given purpose, then our will must match our calling so that we allow absolutely nothing to hold us back from accomplishing our goals. If God be for us, who can be against us? No weapon formed against us will prosper, if we place our trust wholeheartedly in the will of God.

PRAYER:

Dear God, we believe you. But sometimes we need a little help, especially when we are doing your will the best we know how and still encounter unexpected resistance. So when those times occur, please send us a reminder that you are still God and you are in control. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
