Have you ever either received a call for help from far away, or sent word to someone far away that you needed their help? Yesterday I left you in the city of Syrian Antioch. The city was in spiritual chaos, similar to what had happened in Jerusalem, after the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost. Many people in Antioch, especially Gentiles, were turning to Jesus as their Savior and things were getting a little out of control! Word reached the apostles in Jerusalem, and of course they did, as they had done before when they heard about revival in Samaria, remember? (Acts 8:14) But this time, rather than sending Peter or John, the apostles sent their trusted friend Barnabas, to go 300 miles north to Syrian Antioch, to investigate what was happening there.
