Morning Prayer
Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Inspiration
When Jesus Christ rose from the dead and ascended to Heaven, he commissioned the disciples and sent them out to share his message with the world. In Antioch, Paul and Barnabas taught and preached the Word of the Lord, as well as many others. This shows us that those who believed in the resurrection followed Christ's order to share the good news to the ends of the earth. Who will you share the good news with today? Where is God calling you to teach and preach? Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you.
Prayer
Dear God, we know you have called us to share your good news, but sometimes I am hesitant because I do not feel like I can be a teacher or a preacher. Help me to remember that your disciples were ordinary men who simply chose to follow you and obey your commands. Give me the courage to share your message wherever you send me. Holy Spirit, lead me. Allow me to be your hands and feet on earth and to bring others to know you. In Jesus' name, amen.
