STUDY LESSON ONE

• INTRODUCTION Paul was accompanied by Luke
  during his missionary journeys as his friend. The
  Apostle Paul lived a life of adventure preaching
  the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul was imprisoned

  of being against the Jews. Those who opposed Paul
  were the slanderers in reality. Luke spent most
  of the time traveling with Paul for about two
  years.

STUDY LESSON ONE

• Paul lived a life of adventure preaching the
  gospel of Jesus Christ.
• Paul was imprisoned wrongfully and his enemies
  accused him wrongfully of being against the Jews.
  
• Those who opposed Paul were the slanderers in
  reality. Luke spent most of the time traveling
  with Paul for about two years.

5

• There were documents that Luke, while writing the
  Book of Acts who was an early Church historian
  was a student of medicine.
• Paul may have been awaiting trial in Rome in the
  sixties A.D. when Luke wrote the Book of Acts.
• In the writing of the Book of Acts, Luke was
  writing from the third person as a third person
  account writing to Theophilus.

6

• PAUL AS THE APOSTLE
• Paul was the new expository teacher who
  established churches that gave him the mantle of
  an apostle. (cf. Acts 91-30 Acts 1125-30). In
  Acts 9 27 "But Barnabas took him and brought him
  to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his
  journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had
  spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had
  preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus." 

7

• Paul was well educated in Greek philosophy, Roman
  law, and Jewish law. Paul's family were both Jews
  and Roman citizens hence Paul's epistles were
  written in Greek. Paul's kerygma is a direct
  revelation of the gospel of Jesus Christ  to the
  Gentiles (non-Jews) after he experienced the
  Christophany.  ". . . this would seem to suggest
  that at a service of divine worship one of the
  prophets was moved by the Spirit to propose the
  mission of Paul and Barnabas.

8

•  Verse 27 "But Barnabas took him and
  brought him to the apostles." Barnabas was from
  the church at Antioch where he stands first on
  the list of one of the teachers and prophets.
  (131) Luke writes that Barnabas was a good man
  (1124). Barnabas was from the tribe of Levi born
  of Jewish parents. Barnabas was wealthy and had
  possession of land which he sold to the church in
  Jerusalem.

9

• He had a commanding, dignified and distinguished
  appearance (Acts 1411-12). 
• Most of the apostles were afraid of Paul but
  Barnabas took him and told the apostles that Paul
  preached the gospel with boldness in Damascus
  when Paul returned to Jerusalem after his
  conversion (927).

10

• They may have been students together in the
  school of Gamaliel. Gamaliel counseled with
  caution when the apostles were brought to the
  Jerusalem council.
• He maintained moderation and advised that
  if their work was of God then they would be
  "found fighting against God" (Acts 534-40).

11

• Paul's Roman and Jewish citizenship was to his
  advantage because he utilized his status to
  advance his ministry by planting and establishing
  several churches in Asia Minor and Europe. Paul's
  planting and founding of churches established him
  as an apostle.
• Dunn interacts with the Book of Romans on the
  apologetic inquisition on the life, work and
  ministry of the Apostle Paul as an apostle.

12

• Post-Pauline letters such as the Pastoral Letters
  and Ephesians were not included in this book
  however Dunn investigates the nine letters that
  supports the mantle of Apostleship of Dunn
  alludes to the propitiation and atonement kerygma
  of Paul.
• It is clear that it is Jesus's gospel that Paul
  was preaching to the Gentiles since the atonement
  is Christ's sacrifice once and for all found in
  the substitution in Paul (2 Cor 521 Gal 313).

13

• fresh attempt at a full restatement of Paul's
  theology is made all the more necessary in the
  light of what is now usually referred to as the
  new perspective on Paul. ..."  
• The Apostle Paul was to preach to the Jews first
  then to Judea, Samaria and to the uttermost ends
  of the world which was the strategy of the
  apostolic band of the ministry of Paul.

14

• In Romans 116 His apostolic mission was bring
  the light of the gospel mandate to the Jews and
  the Gentiles.
• The kerygma was to be preached to the Jews
  because they have obtained "the sonship, the
  glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the
  worship, and the promises. To them belonged the
  patriarchs, and of their race, according to the
  flesh, is the Christ. Romans 945."

15

• An apologetic of Paul's apostleship is based on
  the appearance of the Risen Christ when Saul
  heard the sound of someone's voice and saw some
  kind of light, but they didn't understand the
  full significance of this encounter. (Acts 97)
  This was confirmed by Ananias who was told by God
  that Saul had been chosen and ordained by God to
  preach the message of Christ before the Gentiles
  and their kings and before the people of Israel
  in the name of Jesus.  In Acts 915-16 Barnabas
  testified for the real conversion of Saul. The
  apostles were convinced and received Paul into
  their fellowship signifying the apostleship of
  Paul. (Acts 927)

STUDY LESSON TWO

• PAUL FIRST MISSIONARY JOURNEY
• Paul's first missionary journey started in
  Cilicia Paul went up to Jerusalem to be
  acquainted with Peter and stated there for
  fifteen days. Paul stated that he did not see any
  of the other Apostles only James, the Lord's
  brother. He said that what he was writing them
  was not a lie and told them of his testimony that
  the man who used to persecute them is now
  preaching the gospel.

• Troas- Paul healed a young man who fell from a

26

• Asia (Minor) was Paul's Main area of new
  ministry.
• Galatia Edified  existing churches.
• Ephesus Paul was in Ephesus three years building
  a very strong church and left after a dissension
  in Ephesus about his work for Christ.
• Macedonia and Greece Strengthened existing
  churches.

27

• "Peter was the traditionalist, preferring that
  those who would worship Christ as Israel's
  messiah first become Jews, a part of the chosen
  people. Paul was the innovator, who recognized
  that the Lord had called the Gentiles and given
  them the Holy Spirit without the Jewish law, and
  regarded Christianity as the fulfillment of God's
  promise that he would bless all people through
  the faith of Abraham.

28

• Accordingly, Peter is remembered as the great
  apostle to the Jews and Paul as the apostle to
  the Gentiles. Between the two of them they
  epitomized the whole of the Christian mission."

33

• CONCLUSION
• There were leadership qualities that were
  identified with the Apostle Paul such as Good
  organizational skills, emotional intelligence,
  Leadership, Values, Integrity, Character,
  Accountability, Motives, Analysis, etc. based on
  the first letter to the Thessalonians. The mantle
  of apostolic authority of Paul is significant to
  the effectiveness of his missionary journeys. 

34

• Byrne is a Reformed theologian that composed an
  expository on the life of Paul with regard to his
  apostolic mantle in the Letters, Personal
  relationships, Christianity, Saints, Judaism.
  Byrne says of Paul "Paul is not, then,
  indifferent to the fate of his Jewish brothers
  and sisters. But Paul understands himself to be
  at the service of a mission to the nations,
  beginning from Jerusalem,

35

• continuing in Asia Minor and Greece, and ranging,
  in ambit at least, as far as Spain (Rom 1519,
  23-24). At the service of this mission his
  preaching of the Gospel amounts to a 'calling
  out' from the nations those destined to be
  members of the renewed People of God. \

36

• "In this article, we identify 10 leadership
  qualities of the Apostle Paul based on Paul's
  first letter to the Thessalonians. These
  qualities represent the motives and methods
  necessary for legacy leadership. We present logic
  for a causal model of spiritual leadership that
  represents evidence of legacy leadership in terms
  of the changed lives of followers.

37

• The legacy of the leader's influence is
  perpetuated through the followers' incorporation
  of legacy principles into their lives as they
  become leaders."
• "The truth of the Trinity guarantees that the
  whole Godhead is there within us. They are ready
  to fellowship with us and to work out their will
  in lives that are yielded to their leading and
  power." Feinberg, John S. No One Like Him.
  Crosswalk Book, 1901.
