BRIEF SUMMARY
Sent Out by the Holy Spirit – By Pastor Jennifer Nolin
Acts 13:4, 14:26 So Barnabas and Saul were sent out by the Holy Spirit, and they went down to Seleucia and from there they sailed to Cyprus.…. 26 From there they sailed back to Antioch where they had been entrusted to the grace of God for the work they had now completed.
The action begins and ends at Antioch. They sail to the nearby island of Cyprus, and then on to the surrounding cities and regions of the Roman world. Trace this first missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas on your map: Antioch, Seleucia, Salamis, Paphos, Perga, Pisidian Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, Derbe, and then their return through some of these cities back to Antioch. If you’re tracing this on a map, the journey forms a rough loop out from Antioch and back again. Their travels were by sea and over land.
