Three Missionary Journeys Paul’s ministry after Christ death and resurrection was filled with travels and meeting with people all over the land of that time. Today we call these types of people missionaries, back then it really was Paul just following what Christ asked him to do. Paul was and is one of the most influential poets of the Bible. In this essay we will focus on the three major travel journeys that Paul took to plant churches and reach the Gentiles of the day. The three major journeys that Paul took we will split up by calling them Paul’s first missionary trip, his second missionary trip and finally his third missionary trip.

Ordained by God, he was one of the major interpreter’s of the teachings of Jesus Christ. During 30 years of ministry, Paul wrote 13 epistles of the New Testament while under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The epistles address the life, death, resurrection of Christ and its implications for all humanity. In His divine wisdom, the Lord foresaw that Paul would best fulfill His plan to spread the gospel of the resurrected Christ to the entire known western world in order to reach His people with the story of redemption.
He was not one of the twelve Disciples, but he did travel with Paul on his missionary journeys. This book is believed to have been written in Rome around 55-65 AD. Mark was an associate with Simon Peter, one of the twelve Apostles that followed Jesus Christ throughout his public ministry on earth. This book was written with the intention of broadcasting Jesus' good works. A close reading will reveal that the writings are mainly focused on the last three weeks of the life of Jesus.
Baptism is part of this process of salvation, and not merely in a ritual and symbolic, but something much deeper, as it has to do with the conversion and the choices you make in the Christian follow Christ. To receive this type of baptism for first were the Jews, but a few years later even the Gentiles, thus opening the grace to all people. This paper

The manner in which they impressed Jesus with their faith and compassion towards their friend are emphasized in sermons taken from Mark 2:1-12. However, in his headquarters in the city of Capernaum there is more that happens previous to this account in the ministry of the Savior.
Jesus was a Jew an a roman. He was baptized by the prophet known as john the Baptist. At the age of 20 he began public ministry. He taught, did good works, and preformed miracles. His teachings had many ideas from Jewish tradition.
I see more great examples of faith throughout this chapter. Luke 8 At this time Jesus had went throughout every city and village preaching and showing the word of God, while having the 12 disciples with him. He gave the “parable of the sower”, in this parable; The seed is God’s word The stones represent those who, when they receive the word of God have no foundation and in temptation, they will succumb and fall away. The thorns represent those choked with cares and riches and pleasures of the world. The good ground are those with a honest, good heart, having heard the word of God.
