Presentation transcript:

Now those who had been scattered by the persecution in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, telling the message only to Jews. Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus. The Lord's hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.

News of this reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he arrived and saw the evidence of the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord. Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch.

So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch. During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world. (This happened during the reign of Claudius.)

The disciples, each according to his ability, decided to provide help for the brothers living in Judea. This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul. (Acts 11: 19-30)

In the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.(Acts 13:1-3)

Centre and Oikos… Jerusalem - Temple and homes (Acts 2:46) Antioch – Scattered households and gathered church (Acts 12,13) Pisidian Antioch – City gathering and gatherings of believers (Acts 13) Corinth with Priscilla and Aquila – Synagogue and home (Acts 18) Ephesus – Lecture hall and disciples

A Church-planting Strategy…

Paul’s second Missionary Journey…

Paul’s Methods… ‘Oikos’: Life on life reaching out Rhythms of prayer, food, fellowship, discipleship, shared resources around a leader People ‘orbit’ in and out Missional Community: A community based around ‘Oikos’ lifestyle with a particular mission Neighbourhood or network

Paul’s Methods… Paul Recruits key leaders He disciples them through his own ‘Oikos’ He deploys them in their own ‘Oikos’ groups with a specific vision to reach others – a Missional Community He sometimes sends someone he has trained previously to lead, like Timothy He goes back to them and reviews how they are doing
