10 Cities Visited by Paul on His Missionary Journeys

The Apostle Paul, a pivotal figure in the New Testament, embarked on several missionary journeys across the Roman Empire to spread the teachings of Christianity. These journeys took him through various regions, including Asia Minor, Europe, and the Eastern Mediterranean. Here are ten cities that were significant in Paul's missionary journeys: Visit: https://scripturalthinking.com or subscribe my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@scripturalthinking Antioch in Syria - Often considered Paul's home base, Antioch was the starting point for his missionary journeys. It was here that the followers of Jesus were first called Christians (Acts 11:26). Damascus - Shortly after his conversion on the road to Damascus, Paul spent time in this city preaching the Gospel (Acts 9:19-20). Lystra - Paul healed a man lame from birth in Lystra, leading to a misunderstanding that Paul and Barnabas were gods. It was also the hometown of Timothy, a close companion of Paul (Acts 14:8-20; 16:1). Derbe - A city visited by Paul and Barnabas during their first missionary journey, where they preached the Gospel and made many disciples (Acts 14:20-21). Philippi - The first city in Europe where Paul established a church. It was here that Paul and Silas were imprisoned and miraculously freed (Acts 16:12-40). Athens - In Athens, Paul delivered his famous sermon at the Areopagus, addressing the Athenians' altar to an unknown god and introducing them to the God of Christianity (Acts 17:16-34). Corinth - Paul spent 18 months in Corinth, where he wrote several of his epistles. The city was an important center for Paul's work, and he established a church there (Acts 18:1-11). Ephesus - Paul stayed in Ephesus for about three years, the longest he stayed in one place on his journeys. His preaching caused a riot among the silversmiths, who made shrines for the goddess Artemis (Acts 19).
