PAUL IN ANTIOCH IN SYRIA
( Acts 13& 14)
When Paul was brought to join the
others in Antioch in Syria by
Barnabas, he had been hiding for
three (3) years in Tarsus in Cilicia, (his
hometown ).
The church in Antioch was
formed by the disciples that fled
persecution in Jerusalem. These were
Lucius, Barnabas, Manaen, Simeon
and Paul. They received the name
“Christians” because they regularly
mentioned the name of Christ in their
conversation and preaching.
There was famine in the
world and Paul and
Barnabas went on their first
official mission to distribute
relief materials to the
believers in Jerusalem.
Assignment

PAUL IN PAPHOS (ACTS 13: 6-13)
From Seleucia, Paul and Barnabas sailed to
Cyprus. John Mark joined them there as an
assistant preacher.
Paul and his companions met the ruler of
the Island of Paphos. They gave him the
message of salvation but as they preached,
they encountered Elymas, also known as
Bar Jesus, a Jewish false prophet.
Elymas tried to distract Sergius Paulus
from receiving the message of the
disciples. Elymas was rebuked by Paul who
called him the son of the devil. Blindness
was pronounced upon him and he left
them a blind man. This action led to the
conversion of the ruler of the Island of
Paphos.

T2 WK 2
PERGA IN PAMPHILIA (Acts 13:13)
When the group of missionaries arrived in
the city of Perga, John Mark left them for
Jerusalem. He was afraid and so could not
continue with them on the missions.
ANTIOCH IN PISIDIA (Acts 13:14-52)
In this city, Paul preached his first
recorded sermon on the Sabbath day. He
explained to the people that just as the
David said in Psalm 16:35, Jesus indeed
was raised back to life.
The congregation liked Paul’s speech and
asked him to repeat it in the following
Sabbath . They stayed back and continued
until riot broke out so, they fled to
Iconium.
PAUL IN ICONIUM (Acts 14: 1-7)
As Paul preached on the Sabbath day in the
Jewish synagogue, they were able to convert
a lot of people however, the unbelieving
Jews who were in this city poisoned the
minds of the foreigners against the apostles.
Consequently, the apostles remain in this
city for a long time in order to reinforce the
faith of the Christians, performing miracles
among them. A plan hatched to persecute
the missionaries led them to flee the city of
Iconium.
PAUL IN LYSTRA (Acts 14:8-20)
His message led to the healing of lame man
from birth. The Lystrians decided to deify
them. Paul they named Hermes(Mercury)
while Barnabas was called Zeus (Jupiter). As
the apostles tried to correct this
misconception, the Jews who had stalked
9 of 10

T2 WK 2
them all the way from Pisidia, arrived and
poisoned the mind of the people against
the missionaries. Paul was pelted with
stones and left to die at the outskirt of
the city. The new converts in Lystria
revived him and sent him to the city of
Derbe.
PAUL IN DERBE (Acts 14:21-28)
Paul and his companions preached in this
city and then decided to return home to
Antioch in Syria, stopping at all the
churches they established, confirming the
faith of believers and appointing elders
over them.
SIGNIFICANCE OF FIRST MISSION
1. This journey made the church to
rapidly expand outside Jerusalem .
2. It is clear that missionaries need to be
strong in faith in order to overcome
opposition.
THE JERUSALEM COUNCIL (Acts 15:1-35)
As the Antioch church begat to grow, Jewish
Christians arrived with the aim to enforce
the law of circumcision on the new church
claiming it is the only basis of salvation.
When a resolution could not be agreed on a
delegation was sent to mother church in
Jerusalem.
The Pharisee group among them added that
all the laws of Moses must be kept.
The apostles insisted that the only basis of
salvation was the Grace of the Lord and not
by circumcision.
This claim was supported by Peter who cited
proofs of the Holy Spirit’s power who does
not discriminate. Paul and Barnabas also
added that they were called to minister to
the Gentiles by the Holy Spirit.
1 of 12

T2 WK 2
James, the elder and brother of the Lord
prevailed upon them all to send some
statutes as condition to be kept and
these are for them to:
1. Abstain from things sacrificed to
idols.
2. Avoid unchastity i.e. sexual
immorality.

PAUL’S 2ND MISSIONARY JOURNEY
T2 WK 2
INTRODUCTION
In Paul’s second missionary journey, he
went to Europe. While in Troas, he
received a vision to go to Macedonia. He
arrived in the city of Philippi, a leading
city in Europe. This city was found by
Philip of Macedonia, father of Alexander
the Great. He notably made this city a key
one in the history of the European
churches. Other cities Paul and other
missionaries visited were Athens and
Corinth.
PAUL IN PHILIPPI (Acts 16:11-34)
While travelling with his companions,
Paul had a vision at Troas. He saw a man
of Macedonia calling for help so, they
went over to the country.
Philippi was a key city in Macedonia.
7 of 11
It was founded by Philip of Macedonia,
the father of alexander the Great. In this
city, Paul delivered a young girl from the
spirit of divination fortune-telling). He
also made converts of two people, Lydia,
the purple goods seller and the jailer in
charge of the prison where he had been
locked up. Paul discovered that these
people were hospitable so that the first
churches in Europe started from the
homes of these converts.
SIGNIFICANCE
1. Despite the dangers and hardships we
might encounter, we should always
show readiness to serve God.
2. We should always show kindness to
help the work of God as the jailer did.

T2 WK 2
PAUL IN ATHENS (Acts 17: 16-34)
Paul and his companions, Silas and
Timothy arrived in Thessalonica to be
received by both the Jews and the Greek.
Persecution from unbelieving Jews drove
them to Beroea from where Paul fled to
Athens to wait for others.
As he took a walk around the city, he
discovered that the people of Athens
were religious with many buildings and
images representing various Greek gods.
He spoke to the Jews in their synagogue
as well as the Athenians in the market
place from where he was invited to speak
to the leaders of the people in the
Supreme Council court called the
AEROPAGUS.
Paul was asked to speak and he used the
case of study of the ‘Unknown god’, one of
the various gods of the Athenians. He
informed them that this god was the same
God who made the world and everything in
it. He added that this God cannot be
represented by images of gold or silver. He
will ultimately judge the world through
Jesus who was raised from the dead. The
message of Jesus’ resurrection made the
people laugh at him.

THE SECOND MISSIONARY JOURNEY
T2 WK 2
SIGNIFICANCE
1. Paul did not condemn the Athenians
for worshipping other gods.
2. A positive approach to witnessing
Christ is through religious tolerance.
PAUL IN CORINTH (Acts 18:1-22)
On arrival in Corinth, Paul lodged in the
house of a Jewish couple, Aquila and
Priscilla, who had been sacked alongside
others by Emperor Claudius . He worked
with them as a tent-maker and argued in
the synagogue every Sabbath trying to
persuade both Jews and Greeks. The Jews
opposed him so he told them that he was
henceforth turning to the Greeks. He
moved into the house of Titus Justus, a
Greek and a worshipper of God. He
converted
the family and having received
encouragement from the Lord, Paul stayed
in Corinth for a year and half teaching the
gospel. The Jews made a united effort to
deal with Paul so they arraigned him before
Gallio the proconsul of Achaia. Their case
was dismissed because it was a religious
issue. In their anger for this response, the
Jews beat up the ruler of the synagogue
called Sosthenes but they were ignored.
Paul stayed for many days before leaving for
Syria with Aquila and Priscilla.

THE THIRD MISSIONARY JOURNEY
T2 WK 2
PAUL IN EPHESUS
(Acts 19:1-10, 21-41)
Paul fulfilled his promise to the Ephesians
and he visited them again. He preaching
and miracles of healing led to the
conversion of many people in Ephesus, the
magicians, who later accepted Jesus, burnt
their magical books.
Ephesus was the centre of worship of
Artemis, (Roman goddess Diana) the
goddess of fertility, to whom barren
women prayed and offered sacrifices so
that they might bear children. The image
had several breasts which symbolised
fertility. The silversmith at Ephesus sold
silver images of Artemis to pilgrims and
made a lot of money.
The Christian message threatened the
worship of Artemis and the income of the
silversmith and worshippers of Artemis to
protest against Christianity.
In the confusion, Gaius and Aristarchus were
arrested and Paul himself was almost killed.
The town clerk was able to disperse the
crowd and restore order and peace.

duties of man in his society.
2. State examples of ways to
carry out these duties.
3. Examine the qualities of love.
T2 WK 3
Some of the duties of man in his
environment include working,
obedience to authorities as well as
love.
Every legally paying job must be
accorded respect.
When Christians show love in their
environment, they demonstrate that
they are the disciples of Christ.
Carrying out civic responsibilities in our
environment silences the ignorance of
unbelievers in the society.
3. Examine the qualities
of Love.
1 of 8

DIGNITY OF LABOUR (2 Thess 3:6-15)
1. Define the term ‘dignity of
labour’;
2. Discuss the reason why Paul
had to exhort the church on this
duty of all;
3. Explain that all legal works
deserve respect.
T2 WK 3 3 of 8
Dignity of labour refers to
respect for all decent work.
Paul had to teach this subject in order to
deter the church in Thessalonica from
laziness.
He gave himself as a model for them to
follow.
Christians are to show respect for their
jobs.

OBEDIENCE TO CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY
1. Explain what should be the right
attitude to authorities in power;
2. Discuss the result of obedience
to this civic duty;
3. Highlight ways by which
Christians can demonstrate their
civic duty.
T2 WK 3 4 of 8
All authorities are appointed
by God.
Obedience to those in authority means
obedience to God.
Christian conduct should be free and fair
in order to silence the ignorance of
foolish men.
Failure to make your obedience good is
to ask for the wrath of God.

TEACHING ON LOVE (1 Cor 13:4-8, 13)
1. Explain what should be the right
attitude to fellows in their
society;
2. Describe the qualities of love;
3. Highlight ways by which
Christians can demonstrate love
in their society.
T2 WK 3 5 of 8
Love is a moral duty of man to
fellow men in their
environment.
The qualities of love are patience,
kindness, humility and faithfulness.
When Christians show love to others,
they show Christ to them too.
Civic and religious duties are a must for
all true children of God.

1. DIGNITY OF LABOUR
(2Thessalonians 3.6-15)
Dignity of labour lies in the fact one just has to
work no matter how small or menial; the idle
mind is the devil’s workshop. The job could be
secular or spiritual(church).
According to Paul, idleness is to be discouraged
among Christians. Whoever refuses to work
even after hearing the message contained in his
letter should be disfellowshipped. The aim is not
to punish

such fellow but to make him ashamed and
change.
Idleness brings disrespect to the idle person
from his peers as he may even be labelled a
thief. Whoever refuses to work should not eat.

2. OBEDIENCE TO CONSTITUTED
AUTHORITY (Rm 13:1-7 ,Eph 6:5-8 )
The point Paul is stressing here is that the act of
governance is within the will of God. Every ruler
has the backing of God. Government is for the
purpose of security and stability of the Society. If
there is no government, their will be anarchy
and lawlessness. Above all, they must have a

• clear conscience, pay taxes, revenue, respect
to whom respect is due, honour to whom is
due.
• Similarly, for there to be peace, stability,
protection which are the rights of the citizen,
each citizen should contribute financially to
the government. Every citizen is therefore
under divine obligation to obey the laws of
the land.

SOME OF PAUL’S TEACHINGS
T2 WK 5
3. TEACHINGS ON LOVE
1 Cor 13: 4-8, 13
WHAT IS LOVE?
Love is a moral duty of a Christian to
others in the society. It is the deep feeling
of affection one has for another. It is
natural and difficult to comprehend. It is
good to love our neighbour so that our
friendship can grow from strength to
strength. Love will help us to respect the
feelings and rights of others.
THE QUALITIES OF LOVE.
It is caring, gentle, kind, enduring, patient,
not jealous, not boastful, not irritable, not
resentful, does not rejoice at wrong,
rejoices in the right and bears all things.
The greatest of all qualities is love.

1 of 13

INTRODUCTION
Paul’s arrival in Jerusalem led to his arrest and
trial before the Jewish Council. A plot was
hatched to kill him but he was rescued and
taken to Caesarea. He had to go through series
of trials in order to defend himself. He was tried
but was not found guilty because he was able to
employ the help of the Holy Spirit to defend
himself.

PAUL’S ARRIVAL AND ARREST IN
JERUSALEM (Acts 21:17-40)
Paul recounted his efforts among the foreigners
to the elders of the church in Jerusalem. The
elders informed Paul of the need for him to
perform the rite of purification so that the Jews
will see that he was not against Judaism.
While Paul was almost completing the rites,
more allegations came up against him. He was
also accused of defiling the temple because he
had been seen inside the temple with a Greek
man called Trophimus.
Paul’s Arrival and Arrest in Jerusalem
(Acts 21:17-40)

The Jews made efforts to kill him and beat him
up but he was rescued by a Roman army officer
(the Tribune) who sent him into the barracks to
protect him from further molestation (safety).

PAUL BEFORE THE SANHEDRIN AND THE PLOT
AGAINST HIM
1. Find a common ground with
one’s persecutor;
2. Explain that the Holy Spirit
will create an avenue to
free one from one’s
persecutor.
T2 WK 4 3 of 13
The Tribune brought Paul
before the Sanhedrin to
defend himself.
Paul explained that all he had ever done
was in clear conscience but the high
priest became angry so that he
commanded someone to slap Paul.
Paul declared that as a Pharisee his only
crime was the belief in the resurrection
of the dead.
A disagreement ensued during which
time Paul was saved from being lynched
by the angry mob of Sadducees.

PAUL BEFORE THE SANHEDRIN AND THE PLOT
TO KILL HIM (Acts 22:30-33; 23:1-35
The following day, the Tribune brought Paul
before the Jewish Council to defend himself
against the accusation of the Jews. Paul said
that his conscience was clear of any allegation
before God and man but the high priest
Annanias, commanded someone to slap him
for this statement. Paul insulted the high priest
but later apologized when he was informed
about who the high priest is.

In order to free himself, Paul declared that he
was a Pharisee who was being tried because of
his hope and belief in the resurrection of the
dead. This statement of Paul caused a violent
disagreement among his opponents (the Jews)
so much that Paul had to be taken back to safety
in the barrack.
When his opponents plotted on how to kill him,
the tribune sent Paul away to Caesarea because
he was a Roman citizen.

troublemaker causing rebellion and a
ring leader of Christians making the
temple unholy.
In his defense Paul said that he was
obedient o the Jewish law and religion.
Despite the fact that Paul was found not
guilty, Felix left him in prison because he
wanted to get bribed.

PAUL BEFORE THE ROMAN AUTHORITIES
Before Governor Felix (Acts 24:10-23)
two charges were made against Paul.
1. He caused rebellion among the Jews;
2. He was a ringleader who had made the
temple unholy.
Paul was allowed to defend himself. He told
Felix that the charges against him were false.
He admitted that he was a Christian but he was
obedient to the Jewish law and religion.

He said he was on trial on account of his belief
in the resurrection of the dead.
Governor Felix did not find Paul guilty of any
offence, yet he refused to set him free because
he wanted some bribe from Paul before he
could release him.

PAUL BEFORE FESTUS
1. Explain that one of the roles of
a leader is to help citizens
exercise their civic rights.
2. Analyze how government can
help citizens recognize, protect
and uphold their human rights.
T2 WK 4 5 of 13
Festus, the new governor
visited Jerusalem and Paul’s
case was mentioned.
All the charges brought against Paul
could not be defended.
Festus tried to pervert justice when he
suggested to Paul if he would not mind
being tried in Jerusalem.
Paul felt he would not get fair trial so he
demanded to be sent to Caesar i.e. the
emperor.

PAUL BEFORE PORCIUS FESTUS (Act 25:1-12)
Porcius Festus visited Jerusalem and received a
request for Paul to be tried in Jerusalem
because they had plans to kill him on the way.
At Caesarea, the agitation against Paul had
increased so Festus made an attempt to
prevent justice in order to please the Jews.
When Paul realized that he would not get fair
trial , he made an appeal to be tried by the
Emperor Caesar. This was his right as a Roman
citizen.

able to protect the rights of
their citizens.

After Paul’s speech the king and his men
agreed that Paul was not guilty to be
punished or killed.
It was agreed that Paul should be
allowed to go to Caesar since he has
demanded for it.
6 of 13

PAUL BEFORE AGRIPPA Act25: 23-27;26:1-16)
King Herod Agrippa visited Porcius Festus to
welcome the new governor. Festus told him
about Paul who was brought before him the
next day. Festus presented Paul’s case ,
stressing his innocence.
Paul narrated his history and his past exploits
as a Pharisee and announced the reason why
he was on trial. He spoke of his conversion but
when he spoke of Jesus’ resurrection, Festus
declared that he was mad.

He responded that this is not so rather, he
wanted them to know about God.
After Paul’s defence, the king, governor and

THE FIRST MISSIONARY INCURSION INTO NIGERIA

The mission of the church is to spread
Christianity to all parts of the world. Jesus said
that all the people of the world must hear the
gospel before he comes. Jesus gave the great
commission to the apostles so that they are
able to spread Christianity among the Jews and
foreigners in the Roman empire.
After the period of the apostles, many

Europeans became missionaries and took up
the challenge to continue the spread of
Christianity to all corners of the world like
Europe, America, Asia Australia and Africa,
through the help of the Holy Spirit.
In the fifteenth (15th) century, European
missionaries came to Nigeria; they were from
the Catholic Church. They came in the company
of some European traders who were sent by
Henry the Navigator, the prince of Portugal.
They visited places like Benin and Warri.

FACTORS FOR THEIR FAILURE
1. Hostile weather condition
2. Language barrier
3. Local leaders’ (chiefs) preference for trade
rather than the religion.

Faith and Works (James 1:22-27)
Faith implies Christian moral teachings of
good conduct such as love, honesty,
truthfulness etc. The faith of a Christian who
refuses to practice these conducts is dead and
such cannot be called a true Christian.
In addition, James taught that a true religion
is when one visits orphans and widows as
well as keeping oneself pure before God.
TEACHINGS FOSTERING UNITY
T2 WK 6 8 of 11

Christian giving
(Phil 4:14-20; 2 Corinth 9:6-15)
God taught us to give first. He gave His son
Jesus Christ to die for our sins. He provides us
and so expects us to share with others.
We should be with a cheerful heart, devoid of
grudge. Giving can be manifested mentally and
morally and in any case, the measure we
receive.

HUMILITY (Phil 2:3-11; 1Pet 5:5-11)
God hates the proud but gives grace to
the humble. He also exalts the humble.
Young people should always humble
themselves and respect the elders and
not despise them as being old (breed).
Whatever a man sows is what he reaps.
T2 WK 6 9 of 11

IMPARTIALITY (James 2:1-13)
Christians should not discriminate against
anyone especially in the church. Everyone
is equal before God. There is no rich nor
poor hence, each person should be
treated equally.

FORGIVENESS (Gal 6:1-2)
Forgiveness is no more counting or holding of
offence against someone. This is a pardon
granted the offender as a result of his
repentance. If we fail to forgive others, God will
not forgive us too.

T2 WK 8 4 of 6

Christian Attitude To Persecution
(1Peter 4:12-19)
Peter admonishes Christians to see
persecution as a test of faith which also
strengthens their faith. Whatever form of suffering
they see should be taken as their own share of the
same suffering Christ underwent. Persecution is
temporary as it happens only on earth during the
Christian’s lifetime. Again, such suffering and
persecution as a test of faith proves that only a
committed and serious Christian can be
persecuted; the people whose interest are selfish
cannot but oppose whosoever is the cause of their
fear and will fight them to finish.
