In Acts 13, we see that Spirit-led mission always stretches the church beyond what feels comfortable. As the gospel spreads to new people and cultures, the church is pushed outward, challenged to stay centred on Jesus, and forced to navigate the tension that growth and change can bring. Yet through it all, Paul and Barnabas remain faithful to the mission God has given them, trusting the Spirit even when there is resistance and discomfort. This passage reminds us that as Cornerstone discerns God’s vision for the future, we are called to be a church that stays open to where the Spirit is leading, keeps Jesus at the centre of everything we do, and moves forward with joy as God continues transforming lives.
