Paul's Widening Field of Service
In this sermon excerpt Paul is portrayed as a model missionary called by the Holy Spirit to preach to the heathen. It outlines a threefold pattern: a missionary call in Antioch, a perilous inaugural journey with Barnabas, and a missionary conference that fuels ongoing support. It emphasizes sacrifice, bold outreach, and the need for churches to sustain mission efforts through continual backing and prayer.
