APOSTLES AND HOW THEY WERE “SENT OUT”
 

Apostles sent Peter and John to Samaritan villages:

Acts 8:14 “Now when the apostles, which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John.”

Peter was sent by the Holy Spirit:

Acts 10:19 “And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting...And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.”

Barnabas was sent by the church in Jerusalem to Antioch:

Acts 11:22 “Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.”

Barnabas and Saul were sent by disciples in Antioch to Jerusalem:

Acts 12:25 “Then the disciples (Antioch)...sent relief to the elders (Jerusalem) by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.”

Barnabas and Saul were sent on mission from Antioch:

Acts 13:1-4 “As they (prophets & teachers) ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed.”

Barnabas and Saul were recommended for the work by the church in Antioch:

Acts 14:26-27 “And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.”

Paul and Barnabas were sent to Jerusalem by the disciples in Antioch:

Acts 15:2-3 “They determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. And being brought on their way by the church...”

Paul and Silas were recommended by the brethren at Antioch:

Acts 15:38-41 “Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God...”

Preachers to be sent:

Romans 10:13-15 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things?
