The mission begins. Paul and Barnabas are sent out by the Spirit from Antioch, sail to Cyprus, and confront the sorcerer Elymas at Paphos.

John Mark turns back. Paul preaches his first recorded sermon in the synagogue at Pisidian Antioch — a masterclass in gospel proclamation to a Jewish audience.

Paul is stoned at Lystra and left for dead — then gets up and goes back in. The first journey ends with a return through every city to strengthen the new churches.

The first great theological crisis of the church. The Jerusalem Council decides: Gentiles do not need to be circumcised. Grace wins. The decision changes everything.

Paul crosses into Europe for the first time. Lydia opens her home. Paul and Silas are imprisoned and sing at midnight. The Philippian jailer asks the most important question of his life.

Paul preaches in Thessalonica for three weeks and a church is born. The Bereans search the Scriptures daily. A riot drives Paul out — but the churches remain.

Paul stands on the Areopagus and addresses the philosophers of Athens. He spends 18 months in Corinth — his longest stay anywhere on the second journey.

Paul's longest stay anywhere — three years in Ephesus. The gospel spreads through the entire province of Asia. The silversmiths riot. The word of the Lord grows mightily.

Paul's farewell tour. He strengthens the churches of Macedonia and Greece, then calls the Ephesian elders to Miletus for a tearful goodbye — knowing he will never see them again.

Paul is warned repeatedly not to go to Jerusalem — and goes anyway. He is arrested in the Temple, rescued by Roman soldiers, and begins the long legal process that will end in Rome.

Two years in Caesarea under Felix and Festus. Paul appeals to Caesar. The voyage to Rome ends in a shipwreck — and Paul's faith holds the whole ship together.

Paul arrives in Rome — in chains, but free. He preaches the kingdom of God and teaches about Jesus openly and unhindered. The mission is complete. The race is finished.
