Paul's Ministry: Why the Holy Spirit Said NO!

Lesson Transcript

Or that there's someplace God wanted to send Paul, um, before there. But another reason is, you know, you read the book of Acts and it's very—and Paul's letters—and it's easy to get the idea that this is this lone ranger out, out here. And if a church was going to get planted, well, then Paul was the one who had to do it. It wasn't that way at all. I mean, all 12 apostles went out planting churches. And then you had other people, apostolic men like Barnabas and Mark, who were planting churches.

So, you know, one reason the Holy Spirit would have said no is because, hey, I'm sending Peter there. I don't want you, Paul, to go. I want Peter to go to this place. So that's maybe why, if it was God preventing him, that, hey, Peter was at Rome too. Now, we don't know the timeframe, whether Paul was there first, Peter later.
