The First Missionaries

As we begin the last month of our school year, we complete our year-long Bible survey by learning about how the good news about Jesus spread from Jerusalem throughout the whole known world in the months after Jesus’ resurrection. It was the church at Antioch in Syria, mainly Gentile believers, who set apart Paul and Barnabas to be the first missionaries. The rest of the book of Acts is really the story of the adventures of Paul and his missionary friends who traveled by land and sea to tell people in other nations about the Kingdom of God.

We will study the first missionary journey this Sunday, which includes evil magicians, attempts to kill Paul, and Jewish leaders who were very angry at what Paul was preaching (about the resurrection of Jesus). But everywhere Paul and Barnabas went, there were some who believed in Jesus. They started new churches in those places, and the gospel continued to spread.

You will want to join us as we hear the stories of these adventures…and bring a friend!

Tom and Sydney Cook
