Come and study Holy Scriptures with us as Father Stephen DeYoung teaches verse by verse on the podcast,

The Whole Council of God.

Father Stephen is a former Protestant pastor and Bible teacher in the Reformed Church,

And let me get started in just a minute, we'll be picking up in Acts of the Apostles

Chapter 21.

And even as we speak now, if you wanted to, the first Bible study on the book of acts is

available on the interwebs, free of charge.

And you can go and listen to that and hear my introduction to the book or hear it again if you were here when I did it.

That's there available. But to get us caught up to where we are right now as we get started in Acts chapter 21,

And that's what they're usually called.

In fact, some Bibles, if you look in the back, in the maps, they'll have a map that shows St. Paul's missionary journeys.

And those are one, two, and three. We've read about all of those.

When we get to the end of the book, we'll talk more about whether or not there was a fourth, because this is the subject of some.

It is in the map.

Yeah, some conjecture.

Yeah.

But we'll get to that.

But we've seen how a couple of patterns that have emerged are that St. Paul has sort of used Antioch as a home base.

His journeys have been sort of through the central part of Asia Minor and then up into Macedonia and then down into Greece.

But always returning to Antioch.
