They had been in Iconium, but due to opposition, they moved to the region of Lycaonia, specifically to the cities of Lystra and Derbe. This movement highlights the missionary strategy of the early church to spread the gospel beyond Jewish communities to Gentile regions.<p><b>continued</b><br>The use of "continued" indicates perseverance and dedication despite opposition and persecution. Paul and Barnabas faced significant challenges, including threats to their lives, yet they remained steadfast in their mission. This persistence is a model for Christian endurance in the face of trials, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/james/1-12.htm">James 1:12</a> and <a href="/2_timothy/4-7.htm">2 Timothy 4:7</a>.<p><b>to preach</b><br>Preaching was the primary method of spreading the gospel in the early church. It involved proclaiming the message of Jesus Christ, His death, and resurrection. The act of preaching is central to the Great Commission (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a>) and is a fulfillment of Jesus' command to make disciples of all nations. The emphasis on preaching underscores the importance of verbal proclamation in evangelism.<p><b>the gospel</b><br>The gospel, or "good news," is the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. It encompasses the themes of redemption, forgiveness of sins, and eternal life. In the context of Acts, the gospel is being extended to Gentiles, fulfilling the prophecy that God's salvation would reach the ends of the earth (<a href="/isaiah/49-6.htm">Isaiah 49:6</a>). The gospel message is central to the New Testament and is the foundation of Christian faith, as articulated in passages like <a href="/romans/1-16.htm">Romans 1:16</a> and <a href="/1_corinthians/15.htm">1 Corinthians 15:1-4</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/paul_and_barnabas.htm">Paul and Barnabas</a></b><br>Key figures in the early Christian church, known for their missionary journeys and spreading the gospel.
