Week 2 in New Testament.

Choice 1

1.)  Paul started in Pisidia then went to Attalia, Paphos, Seleucia, and Antioch.

2.)   Three things I found in Acts 13:1-5 that would help struggling missionaries  is to remind them that they have the Holy Ghost with them, He will tell them what they need to know. Another thing is for them to remember that they have been set apart and this is a special calling, they have the tools to do what is necessary to be god missionaries. The final thing is that if they are still discouraged, it would be appropriate for them to fast, pray and get a blessing about their trial.

3.)  Barnabas was a man who was highly favored of many. He wasn’t an Apostle but was often regarded as one. He was a Jew and served with Paul. Barnabas was so highly favored that he was given the name Jupiter. One of the advantages of sending missionaries out in twos is that, like with Paul, one of the missionaries may not be as experienced as the other. Often times, new converts go on missions, barely knowing the doctrines themselves, it’s helpful when there’s another person so that things wont get mixed up.

4.)  People loved Paul and Barnabas because they were good men, working miracles. The people gave them live stock and clothes and fine things. When they heard about it, Paul and Barnabas told them to turn away from worldly things and turn to God.

5.)  In 14:19-22, it was a complete opposite response to Barnabas and Paul. The people stoned Paul and thought he was dead, but he wasn’t and he went to another city and continued preaching the Gospel.
