The Setup

Picture this: the early church is buzzing with excitement and growth. After Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, his followers are spreading the good news like wildfire. The apostles are driving this movement forward, and among them is Paul, a former Pharisee who had a dramatic encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus.

Fast forward to Antioch, a vibrant and diverse city where believers are coming together. The Holy Spirit is about to interrupt a church meeting, calling Paul and his buddy Barnabas to hit the road, taking the gospel to uncharted territories. It's not just a casual road trip; it's a groundbreaking mission that will change the course of history.

Paul and Barnabas are about to embark on what we now call "Paul’s First Missionary Journey." Their mission: spread the message of Jesus across Cyprus and Asia Minor, planting churches and facing opposition head-on. Buckle up, it’s going to be a wild ride.
