Introduction. Lesson 6 continues our study in Acts. In Lesson 5 we learned that Acts 1:8 serves as an outline of the book. Jesus’s final commission to His followers was, “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in Judea and Samaria.” We briefly discussed the first two movements in Lesson 5, and in this lesson we focus on the third movement, “You will be my witnesses in all the world.” Luke tells that part of the story in Acts 13–28. The key character in these chapters is Paul the apostle. He was introduced to us in chapters 9 and 11, but in chapters 13–28 Luke shifts his attention to Paul and his work among the Gentiles.

I. Paul, the Person

II. Paul’s Ministry

III. Paul’s Imprisonment

IV. Paul’s Fourth Missionary Journey

Conclusion What we take away from Paul’s life is an amazing understanding of what God is capable of doing with somebody who is totally sold out to Christ; somebody filled with the Spirit, who lived his life with the compelling passion to fulfill the destiny God had for him. Paul wrote in Philippians 3:13–14, “This one thing I do: Forgetting what lies behind . . . I press on to achieve what God has given me to do.” Quite a calling, isn’t it? Life gets complicated as we fulfil our various God-given responsibilities. But in the midst of it all, we can claim our own “This one thing I do.” Whatever form God’s call takes, we can live our life every day as people of destiny.
