When Paul and Barnabas miraculously heal a lame man, the locals begin to worship them as Greek gods. Paul swiftly works to correct this, and Bishop Chris Warner shows how this applies to miracles and to idols today.

After Paul preaches the sermon in Pisidian Antioch, we get to see the incredible effect it has on Jews and Gentiles alike. Dean shows the great lengths Paul and Barnabas went to to give this sermon, and shows how we can have that same missionary impact today.

In this passage, we see Paul and Barnabas called to be missionaries to the Gentile Church. We see Paul preaching in the synagogue at Antioch in Galatia, and we learn about the importance of listening to God’s calling.

In Acts 9, we read about the conversion of Paul. Dean talks about the surrounding chapters, which include the conversions of the Roman Centurion Cornelius and the Ethiopian Eunuch, and how we can be like Ananias and Barnabas were to Paul.
