In this case, instead of one mission going to Antioch, two mission trips were born. Barnabas and Mark went to Cyprus, while Paul and Silas to Asia minor.

They encounter people who still hold strongly to the Mosaic law, as well as circumcision. Their audience consists of those who believe of those specific requirements for salvation. The Mosaic faction also believed that Gentiles could accept Christ only after becoming converts to Judaism. Paul and Barnabas had a difficult task in front of them, but God's will for them to continue on their mission prevailed.  Here's a video that dives deeper into understanding the Mosaic law.  Sidenote (SN) : Divisions in churches can arise from small issues.  Question : Why is open, honest communication so important in handling conflicting ideas?  ***Today's study will show how a seriou...

How have your convictions about Jesus caused conflict with people who hold different beliefs?  Today's study considers how we should prepare to demonstrate that Jesus is the living God--and how we can deal with the various responses we will face.  Misdirected Worship: Acts 14: 11-13 Application Point : We can expect that some will not attribute God's works to Him, choosing instead to worship other people or things. 11  When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted, saying in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in human form!”  12  Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.  13...
