II. THE MINISTRY OF PAUL, 13:1 - 21:14
A. PAUL'S FIRST MISSIONARY JOURNEY, 13:1 - 14:28
1. Give the salient points in 13:1-5:
(1) The early church recognized those with specific ministries (v. 1).
(2) Divine guidance was obtained in a climate of fasting, prayer and
worship (v. 2).
(3) The Holy Ghost (probably by means of prophetic utterance)
selected specific individuals for specific work. (v. 2).
(4) This selection evidences the necessity of a personal call for
certain types of ministry.
(5) This incident presents a beautiful example of the blending
between the sovereignty of the Holy Ghost and human
instrumentality, (v. 3-5).
2. Who went on this first missionary journey, 13:2-5? Barnabas, Saul, and
John Mark.
3. What takes place in 13:6-12?
(1) Satan's opposition to the conversion of the deputy through the
sorcerer's instrumentality.
(2) This opposition was turned into the reason for the deputy's
conversion by the intervention of a miracle of divine judgment.
4. Make two observations from 13:9,13:
(1) Paul has become the leader of the company.
(2) John Mark deserts his companions, (15:38).
5. What does Paul do in 13:13-41? He proves from Jewish history and
prophecy that justification is to be obtained by faith in Christ and
not by the law.
6. What major turning point is reached in 13:42-52? Inasmuch as the Jews
were rejecting God's salvation by Jesus Christ, Paul is now turning
his efforts toward the Gentiles in fulfillment of the prophecy in
Isaiah 65:1.
7. What takes place in 14:1-7? Paul and Barnabas were obliged to flee
because the hostile Jews stirred up the Gentiles against them (v. 2).
8. What did the people do in 14:8-19? They invested Paul and Barnabas
with the names of their deities and sought to worship them as such
because of the healing of the impotent man.
9. Summarize the disciples' activities in 14:20-28:
(1) They taught many people (v. 21).
(2) They confirmed the souls of the disciples (v. 22).
(3) They ordained elders in every church (v. 23).
(4) They travelled and preached the Word of God in diverse places
(v. 24-26).
(5) They rehearsed (shared) all that God had done (v. 27).
