Welcome to Calvary Chapel of Perry! Today, Pastor Harley Doneburg continues our verse-by-verse study through the Book of Acts, teaching from Acts 13:6-12 — the beginning of the missionary church at Antioch.

In this message, we look at how the early church sought the Lord through prayer, fasting, and ministering to God, and how the Holy Spirit set apart Barnabas and Saul for the work He had called them to. Pastor Harley also walks us through the importance of:

• Hearing and responding to God’s call
• The role of encouragement and spiritual confirmation
• How God leads naturally and supernaturally
• Preaching the Word of God as the primary ministry of the church
• The spiritual battle that arises when the gospel transforms lives
• Judging rightly with humility and discernment
• The example of John Mark, and how God restores and grows those who once struggled

In Acts 13, we witness a pivotal turning point in church history — the moment when the gospel begins to move beyond the borders of Israel and into the Gentile world. The church in Antioch becomes a sending church, a community deeply rooted in worship, fasting, and prayer. It’s here that the Holy Spirit speaks, setting apart Paul and Barnabas for the first missionary journey — a moment that would forever shape the direction of the early church.

In this message, Pastor Harley Doneburg unpacks the heart and power of this passage, showing us that God still calls His people today to live with the same sensitivity, faith, and obedience to the Holy Spirit. The mission of the church didn’t end in Acts — it continues through us. When God’s people are filled with His Spirit, they are sent with His power, and their lives bear fruit for His kingdom.

Main Scripture: Acts 13 Supporting Passages: Matthew 28:18–20, Romans 10:14–15, Acts 1:8

In this week’s message from Calvary Chapel Perry, Pastor Harley Doneburg continues our journey through the Book of Acts, picking up in chapter 12 where persecution intensifies under King Herod. As James is martyred and Peter is miraculously freed from prison, we’re faced with a powerful question: Why does God allow suffering for some, while delivering others?

Through this passage, Pastor Harley reminds us of God’s sovereignty, the mystery of His will, and the power of prayer—even when we don’t understand the outcome. He takes us through key moments in Acts, John, and Philippians to show how God uses both trials and triumphs to grow our faith, deepen our trust, and draw us closer to Him.

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like “Why me?” or “Where is God in this?”, this message will encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises, trust His timing, and remember that His ways are higher than ours.
