  • M=Missionary Journey Begins Acts 13
    M=Missionary journey Begins Acts 13 Missionary: a person who goes out to spread the good news of Jesus Paul & Barnabas began their first missionary journey in Acts 13. When they came to a new city, they usually went first to a synagogue where they could talk to the Jews. Chapter 13 is the beginning of Paul’s missionary journeys. This chapter is also important because Paul becomes the main character of Acts, and Peter slips into the background. Christians were in Antioch worshipping. Antioch is significant because Christians were first called Christians here. Acts 11:26. This was also the first church that was mission minded. While worshipping, the Holy Spirit picked Paul and Barnabas to start preaching abroad. The men there fasted, prayed and put their hands on them and sent them off. John Mark also traveled with them. They sail to the island of Cyprus and travel through it to Paphos on the western side of it. They meet a sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus aka Elymas. The proconsul (governor) of the city Sergious Paulus wanted to hear Paul, but Elymas didn’t want him to. So Paul filled with the Holy Spirit lets Elymas have it, and then Elymas is blinded for some time! Because of this the proconsul believed. John returns home to Jerusalem. This is important because in Acts 15:38 Barnabas wants to take John again and Paul doesn’t think it is wise because John deserted them in Pamphylia. But we see in II Timothy 4 they had worked out their disagreement.

  • Acts of the Apostles Chapter 13 – 14 Overview: Paul and Barnabas
    Acts of the Apostles Chapter 13 – 14 Overview: Paul and Barnabas begin their first missionary journey (13:4-12). Paul arrives at Antioch in Pisidia (13:13-15) and addresses the synagogue (13:16-43) and the Gentiles (13:44-52). Paul and Barnabas go to Iconium (14:1-7) and then to Lystra (14:8-20) and return to home (14:21-28). First Missionary Journey: 13:1 – 12 • Prophets/teachers: Two ecclesial ministries often listed by Paul (Rom. 12:6-8; 1 Cor. 12:28) • Worshipping/fasting: Provide an opening to listening to the Holy Spirit and receive direction • Lay hands: Expresses the community’s setting apart for God’s mission (Kurz, 203). Correct Order Incorrect Order Worship/fasting – flows into mission Plan mission – ask God to bless our plans • Seleucia: Named after the Hellenistic dynasty that ruled northern part of Greek empire • John (Mark): Holy Spirit called Saul and Barnabas, but they also brought John Mark • Note: Mark will abandon mission and go to Jerusalem; Barnabas is from Cyprus (Acts 4:36) • Bar-Jesus: “Son of Jesus”; he was a Jew, magician, and false prophet (Kurz, 206) • Sergius Paulus: Gentile who desires to hear God’s word; from Pisidia Antioch in Asia Minor • Opposed them: Those who reject the gospel throw up roadblocks to its expansion • Key: Just as Satan opposed Jesus from the beginning, so Elymas opposed Paul at beginning • Paul: Luke switches from Saul (Jewish name) to Paul (Roman name) for the first time • Twisting: Son of the devil twists the straight paths of the Lord (Is.

  • Story 117: Paul and Barnabas in Cyprus
    Story 117: Paul and Barnabas in Cyprus Paul and Barnabas sailed on a ship to the island of Cyprus. The ship landed at a city named Salamis. On this trip, they took with them a young Christian named John Mark. They began to travel over the island. As they went, they told people about Jesus. The people on the island did not know that Jesus was the Son of God. They did not know that their sins could be forgiven through Jesus. Everywhere, the people listened as Paul and Barnabas told them about Jesus. In one city, a man (Elymas) tried to stop the work Paul and Barnabas were doing. God made Elymas blind because of the bad thing he was doing. The governor of the island saw what God did, and he became a believer in Jesus. ************************************************************************* Read this story in the Bible in Acts 13:4-12. ************************************************************************* Questions 1.

  • Restart Week 6: Overcoming Opposition Acts 13:1-12 David Bawks - Pathway Community Church (April 11, 2021)
    ReStart Week 6: Overcoming Opposition Acts 13:1-12 David Bawks - Pathway Community Church (April 11, 2021) Good morning Pathway! Welcome to our service today. Today we’re moving to week six of our series ReStart. As we move through 2021, we’re praying and seeing God’s guidance as to how we can restart and revamp what we’re doing this year. We’ve been exploring the book of Acts to learn how the Holy Spirit lead the early believers through persecution and other challenges to reach people for the gospel. Let’s review, who was the focus of our message last week? Where did he have an experience with God? 1) No one is beyond the reach of God’s transformation. 2) Let’s welcome those transformed by God. Today we are moving on to chapter 13, verse 1 – 12. 13 1 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. 2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off. 4 The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus. 5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues.

  • The Conflict of Intellect and Religion Acts 13:6-12
    The Conflict of Intellect and Religion Acts 13:6-12 Acts 13 1 Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 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 I have called them." 3 Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away. 4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant. 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 the devil, 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." And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

  • Sent Again (Confronting Division) Acts 15:36-41 ______Main Point______
    Sent Series Bible & Life Guide Sunday Sermon Date: 3 / 7 / 2021 Sent Again (Confronting Division) Acts 15:36-41 ____________________________Main Point___________________________ We are called to be peacemakers, even after bitter disagreements and years of estrangement. ___________________________ Introduction__________________________ What do you think it means to be a “peacemaker”? Why do you think it’s so difficult to make peace in the midst of relational discord? Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God” (Matt. 5:9). This means that if you seek peace, you are exhibiting one of God’s family traits. Jesus, in fact, was the ultimate peacemaker. Yet making peace is extremely difficult, even for the most humble among us. It’s counterintuitive and countercultural. Peacemaking flies in the face of our individualistic society that prizes self-expression and its evil twin, self-vindication. Peacemaking requires us to acknowledge our pride and willfully set it aside. Our culture has a personality, too, and peacemaking is out of sync with that personality. People who hold grudges, who speak their mind with no reservations, who appear uncompromising, are often admired. These, however, are not the attributes of a peacemaker. These are not the qualities of a godly influencer. In this session, we will examine a relationship within Paul’s team that was broken and later revived. It’s an example for all of us as we follow Christ’s example of peacemaking. ________________ _____Understanding / Discussion___________________ Read Acts 13:1-13 and 15:36-41 Why do you think there was such a controversy between Paul and Barnabas about taking Mark along on the missionary journey? Mark was apparently a nickname, and his family ran in the same circles as the disciples and the rest of the Jerusalem Christian community.

  • Desicrit in New Testament Interpretation
    THE BIBLE & CRITICAL THEORY DesiCrit in New Testament Interpretation Paul’s Ambiguous Identity in Acts Haley Gabrielle, Emory University Abstract This article explores how biblical criticism is enriched through the analytical tool of DesiCrit, a dimension of critical race theory proposed by Vinay Harpalani. DesiCrit emphasizes the racial ambiguity of South Asian Americans and the malleability of their ascribed and asserted racial identities in different historical and social contexts, also called “microclimes.” Leveraging DesiCrit, I analyse how the book of Acts represents the ambiguity of Paul’s religious, national, and geographic identities in three distinct microclimes. In Damascus (Acts 9), the divine voice to Ananias selectively emphasizes Paul’s shared background in a large Greek diaspora city. On Paphos (Acts 13), two sets of double names communicate positive and negative forms of belonging: the name “Paul” reflects greater capital before Roman audiences, and the translation from “Bar-Jesus” to “Elymas” serves to distance a persecutory form of Judaism from the Judaism of the Way. Finally, in Jerusalem (Acts 21), a precarious social context leads to Paul’s ambiguity being construed negatively as a danger to the Roman military. Paul, however, is able to establish an alternative and less threatening identity. As Paul asserts and is ascribed varying social classifications, his ambiguity both increases and constrains his ability to control his self-representation. Keywords Acts, Paul, ambiguity, critical race theory, South Asian Americans Introduction Asian American biblical criticism has engaged biblical texts with a wide range of analytical tools, including conversations with Asian American scholarship and attention to modern Asian American contexts.1 One potential and underexplored analytical tool is critical race theory (CRT), which originated in the field of law but has been employed in many other fields as well, including studies of early Christianity (Haley 2009, 27-29; Smith 2018, 45-49).

  • Acts Chapter 13 – Handout #8 V.1- This First Verse Points to the Diversity in the Church in Antioch
    Acts Chapter 13 – Handout #8 v.1- this first verse points to the diversity in the church in Antioch. Barnabas, Jew from Cyprus; Simeon called Niger (he might have had a dark complexion), who moved in Roman circles; Lucius from Cyrene, North Africa; Manean, who had high contacts because he had been reared with Herod Tetrarch (really Herod Antipas, who beheaded John the Baptist and treated Jesus shamefully at His trial; and Saul, a Jew trained in Rabbinical schools. All very different but functioning as one. v.2-3- Barnabas and Saul are separated from the rest by the Holy Ghost for special ministry, the leaders fasted, prayed and laid hands on them, and sent them away. This is the beginning of the first missionary journey of Saul (Paul). v.4-13- first 19 miles to Seleucia, then they sail to island of Cyprus, city of Salamis, where they preach in the synagogues. John Mark also ministers with them. They then traveled on the island to Paphos, the provincial government seat, where they encounter a sorcerer and false prophet, BAR-JESUS (means son of Jesus). He was the magician for the deputy (proconsul) of the country, SERGIUS PAULUS, who called for the missionaries because he was interested in the Word. Bar-Jesus, who is also called ELYMAS, discouraged the deputy but Saul calls him out as the son of the devil. He pronounces a temporary blindness on him, while the deputy, seeing the power of God, and having heard the Word, believed. They leave for Perga in Pamphylia but John Mark decides to go back to Jerusalem.
