Not only did Paul and Barnabas preach, but we also see an expansion of Gospel preaching and the multiplication of leadership.

Many distractions can come crashing down against the mission of the gospel. The early church faced one such distraction, a conflict, but they demonstrated how to resolve it and keep the main thing the main thing.

The first missionary journey had incredible costs, including the personal costs of persecution and the financial costs of the travel. What does it cost to serve Christ in Gospel Ministry?

Paul and Barnabas were convinced of their calling and sentness, so they continued their mission, preaching Christ everywhere they went, but it wasn't without challenges.

Paul told the story of Jesus through the lens of Redemptive History up to his day. Are we able to communicate a more complete narrative than just a simple Gospel presentation?

Barnabas and Saul (Paul) took along a spiritual intern, modeling for us something we need to employ if we want to grow a movement.

The Church is not to just look internally at its own issues and growth. If the Church looks outwardly as a missionary sending church, God will often bless the church, the word of God will spread, and people will respond in faith.

Why do some people suffer while others are spared? It is a mystery, but it is part of human existence.
