Week 2: Equipped to Preach Christ: The Church in Pisidian Antioch

Acts 13:13-52 records Paul’s first sermon and stands as one of the clearest examples of gospel preaching in the New Testament. Speaking in the synagogue at Pisidian Antioch, Paul explained how all of Israel’s history pointed to Jesus, the promised Savior who offers forgiveness and justification through His death and resurrection. This lesson shows how the Holy Spirit enables believers to proclaim Christ with clarity, courage, and compassion, even when faced with rejection. Through Paul’s example, we learn that the power of the gospel does not depend on human approval but on God’s truth faithfully shared.
