Acts 13:4-12
Skip Heitzig
| Acts 13 (NKJV™) | |
| 4 | So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. |
| 5 | And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant. |
| 6 | Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus, |
| 7 | who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. |
| 8 | But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. |
| 9 | Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him |
| 10 | and said, "O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? |
| 11 | "And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time." And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. |
| 12 | Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord. |

The book of Acts is Luke's record of the apostles' work after Jesus' ascension, though it might better be called the acts of the Holy Spirit in the early church. Join us for this series with Pastor Skip Heitzig as we see how Jesus continues working today through the Spirit-empowered church.
