Paul’s First Missionary Journey
God sent Paul on three different missionary journeys where he helped found the Christian church in the Middle East and beyond. Acts 13 and 14 give an account of Paul’s first missionary journey. Along this journey, Paul and Barnabas visited many places including Cyprus, Paphos, Perga, Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. Everywhere they went, they proclaimed Christ in the synagogues (Acts 13:5).
In Paphos, Paul rebuked a false prophet and magician by warning him to “stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord” (Acts 13:10). At Antioch in Pisidia, Paul told the Jews that Jesus alone offers salvation and redemption, not the Law of Moses. Because the Jews did not listen, Paul turned his message to the Gentiles, who believed (13:39–48). In Lystra, Paul healed a crippled man, and the crowds began to think that Paul and Barnabas were gods. Paul vehemently rejected these claims and pointed the crowds to the living God who made the heavens and earth. Paul was stoned but miraculously survived. The next day, Paul and Barnabas went to Derbe, where they made many disciples. On their way back to Antioch, they strengthened the souls of the disciples and encouraged them to persevere. They also appointed elders to each church. Upon their return, Paul and Barnabas shared all that God had done through them (14:8–27).
Paul was on a mission to preach Christ to Jews and Gentiles, to rebuke heresies, to heal the sick, to make disciples, to encourage believers, and to share the mighty works of God.
Oh, God, help us to follow Paul’s example individually and collectively as the church.
