Spread of Christianity (750)
Author: Ron Graham

The book of Acts is the second book written for Theophilus by Luke, and takes up the
story where Luke’s gospel account finished (Lke 1:1-3, Acts 1:1-2).

The book of Acts tells of the spread of Christianity and the adventures of the first
Christians. Luke’s main purpose is to record cases of conversion to provide a model or
pattern of how people became Christians wherever the gospel went. The book falls into
six sections each of which ends with a progress report.

Paul’s Journeys (757)
Author: Ron Graham

Our study of the places in the book of Acts requires a supplemental summary of the
journeys and periods of the apostle Paul.

Traditionally, Paul is said to have made three missionary journeys, plus a fourth journey
to Rome. In the Acts Facts series, I have retained this traditional manner of dividing up
Paul’s several journeys recorded in the book of Acts. This enables you to more easily
relate our studies with other studies, references, and maps, which most likely adhere
to the same scheme.

The four journeys of Paul are...

1st missionary journey (Acts 13:4 to 15:35).

2nd missionary journey (Acts 15:36 to 18:22).
3rd missionary journey (Acts 18:23 to 21:17).
Journey to Rome (Acts 27:1 to 28:16).

The first two journeys start and end in Syrian Antioch. The third journey starts in
Antioch and ends in Jerusalem. Starting from Jerusalem, the fourth journey
ends in Rome. See also Paul's trips to Jerusalem.

A After Paul’s Conversion

In Acts 9, Luke records the period between Paul’s conversion and his first missionary
journey. In this period Paul was known as Saul. Paul himself speaks of this period in
Acts 22 and 26, as well as Galatians 1:13-17. Putting information from all these sources
together, we find the following activities between Paul’s conversion and
first missionary journey.

After his conversion in Damascus, Paul very nearly lost his life (Acts 9:19-25).
Paul went away into Arabia for three years, being taught by Jesus Christ (Gal 1:17-18).
Paul then came to Jerusalem where he was assisted by Barnabas. Again his life was
threatened, so he went home to Tarsus (Gal 1:18-24, Acts 9:26-30).
Paul next went to Antoch in Syria. From there, he was sent down to Judea with aid for
the brethren in need because of famine (Acts 11:19-30).
Paul and Barnabas then returned to Syrian Antioch (Acts 12:25).
At Antioch, Paul and Barnabas are called to embark on what is known as the 1st
missionary journey (Acts 13:1-3).

B The 1st Missionary Journey

From Antioch’s seaport Selucia, they sail to Cyprus, and work throughout the island
(Acts 13:4-12).
Next they go to Pamphylia and the other Antioch in Pisidia (Acts 13:13-52)..
They went down to Lycaonia, working in Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe (Acts 14:1-23).
Passing through Pisidia and Pamphylia again, they then worked in Perga (Acts 14:24).
They went down to Attalia and caught a ship back to Syrian Antioch (Acts 14:25-27).

C Period in Syrian Antioch

Between the 1st and 2nd missionary journeys there was "a long time" in Antioch in Syria
(Acts 14:28).
During this period, Paul, Barnabas, and other companions had to go up to Jerusalem to
attend a council of the apostles regarding the issue of Christians keeping the law of
Moses (Acts 15:1-29).
Paul returned to Antioch and worked there a while (Acts 15:30-35).

D The 2nd Missionary Journey

Paul chose Silas and embarked on a journey that began by revisiting the places tPaul had
worked on his 1st journey (Acts 15:36-41).
They worked in Derbe, Lystra, Iconium. Timothy joined Paul and Silas.
Paul, with Silas and Timothy, went through the regions of Phrygia and Galatia, then on to
Troas (Acts 16:1-8)
Paul received a vision calling him to Macedonia (Acts 16:9-40, 17:1-14).
Paul went down to Achaia and worked in Athens (Acts 17:15-34).
After Athens he went to work in Corinth where he met Aquila and Priscilla
(Acts 18:1-17).
From Corinth Paul went to Ephesus (Acts 18:18-21).
He took a ship to Caesarea, visiting the church there, then went back to Syrian Antioch
(Acts 18:21-22).

E The 3rd Missionary Journey

After a time in Antioch, Paul set off again and visited with the churches again in Galatia
and Phrygia (Acts 18:23)
Paul next returned to Ephesus where his work caused an uproar (Acts 19:1-41).
Paul then revisited Macedonia and Greece, and came to Troas and after that to Miletus
(Acts 20:1-38).
From Miletus Paul sailed to Caesarea and then went to Jerusalem (Acts 21:1-17).

F Period in Jerusalem and Caesarea

In Jerusalem Paul had a meeting with James and the elders (Acts 21:18-26).
Paul was caused trouble by the Jews (Acts 21:27-40).
Paul told his story publicly and nearly got flogged (Acts 28).
Paul went on trial and is escorted to Caesarea (Acts 23:1-35).
He was imprisoned in Caesarea and goes before Felix (Acts 24)
When he appeared before Festus he appealed to Caesar (Acts 25).
