Galatians Holy Family Bible Study

Spring 2006May 3, 2006

A little background

As a result of the decision of the Christian assembly in Antioch, Paul and Barnabas begin a missionary journey that takes them to Cyrus, and then on the Pamphlian, costal cities, and southern Galatian cities of Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe, then back to Antioch and to Jerusalem

A little background

Acts tells us that Paul and Barnabas were successful during the first journey.

And there is opposition of the Jews to preaching the Gospel.

It seems Paul visited Galatia during three of his missionary journeys.
