Today we\u2019ll look at the first missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas, and at the end of our episode we\u2019ll begin Paul\u2019s second journey accompanied in part by Luke, the writer of the book of Acts. Men and women from different backgrounds, cultures, and occupations are hearing the message of Christ and turning to Him in faith. We\u2019ll also witness a convention of church leaders meeting together to discuss how to best direct their new Gentile brothers and sisters in the faith. Despite opposition from jealous Jewish leaders, the message of Christ continues to spread. Through it all, the apostles continue to trust in the Lord through persecution.
