Explanation
In this passage from Acts 11:25-26, Barnabas goes to Tarsus to find Saul and brings him to Antioch. They spend a year there, assembling with the church and teaching many people. As a result of their presence and teachings, the disciples in Antioch were first called "Christians". This term was used to describe the followers of Jesus Christ, distinguishing them from other groups or religions.

5 Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant _____ was offered to God for him by the church. -Acts 12:5
- A.
  
  Praise
- B.
  
  Prayer
- C.
  
  Fasting
Correct Answer
B. Prayer

Explanation
In this verse from the book of Acts, Peter is imprisoned. However, the church offers constant prayer to God on his behalf. This suggests that the church is seeking God's intervention and protection for Peter while he is in prison. Prayer is a powerful and common practice in Christianity, where believers communicate with God, express their needs, and seek His guidance and help. Therefore, prayer is the most suitable option to fill in the blank in this context.

2 As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which _____.” Acts 13:2
- A.
  
  They have chosen
- B.
  
  I have called them
- C.
  
  I will lead them
Correct Answer
B. I have called them

Explanation
The correct answer is "I have called them." This is because the verse from Acts 13:2 states that the Holy Spirit said to separate Barnabas and Saul for a specific work. The phrase "I have called them" implies that the Holy Spirit has specifically chosen and called Barnabas and Saul for this work, indicating that it is a divine appointment rather than a decision made by the individuals themselves.

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 ____, 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.” -Acts 13:6-11
- A.
  
  Molech
- B.
  
  Baal
- C.
  
  The devil
Correct Answer
C. The devil

Explanation
The correct answer is "the devil" because in the passage, Elymas the sorcerer is described as being full of deceit and fraud, an enemy of righteousness, and someone who perverts the ways of the Lord. These characteristics align with the biblical depiction of the devil as a deceiver and adversary of God's righteousness. Additionally, Saul (later known as Paul), who is filled with the Holy Spirit, confronts Elymas and pronounces a punishment upon him, further suggesting that Elymas is aligned with the devil.

38 Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; 39 and by Him everyone who believes is ____ from all things from which you could not be _____ by the law of Moses. -Acts 13:38-39
- A.
  
  Filled with wisdom
- B.
  
  Filled with the Holy Spirit
- C.
  
  Justified
Correct Answer
C. Justified

Explanation
Through Jesus, the forgiveness of sins is preached to believers. By believing in Him, they are justified, meaning they are declared righteous and free from the guilt and penalty of sin. This justification is not possible through the law of Moses, as it could not provide complete forgiveness and righteousness. Therefore, through faith in Jesus, believers are justified and made right with God.

44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God. 45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul. 46 Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you _____; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. -Acts 13:44-46
- A.
  
  Also
- B.
  
  First
- C.
  
  Both Jews and Gentiles at the same time
Correct Answer
B. First

Explanation
In this passage from Acts 13:44-46, Paul and Barnabas are speaking to a crowd on the Sabbath. When the Jews saw the large number of people gathered to hear the word of God, they became jealous and began to oppose and blaspheme against Paul's teachings. In response, Paul and Barnabas boldly state that it was necessary for the word of God to be spoken to the Jews first. However, since they rejected it and deemed themselves unworthy of everlasting life, Paul and Barnabas announce that they will now turn their attention to the Gentiles.

49 And the word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region. 50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. 51 But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and came to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with ____ and with the Holy Spirit. -Acts 13:49-52
- A.
  
  Joy
- B.
  
  Pity
- C.
  
  Sorrow
Correct Answer
A. Joy

Explanation
After being expelled from their region and facing persecution, the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit. This suggests that despite the challenges they faced, they remained steadfast in their faith and found joy in spreading the word of the Lord. Their joy could have come from the belief that their efforts were making a difference and that they were fulfilling their purpose. Additionally, being filled with the Holy Spirit would have brought them a sense of peace, comfort, and empowerment, further contributing to their joy.
