Acts - Fourteen - 11.06.24

Acts 14: 1-22 - Paul and Barnabas preach God's message in Iconium and many become believers in Christ. God gave them the power to do signs and wonders. But there were Gentiles and Jews who were against them, planned to stone them. They leave and travel away.

Paul heals a crippled man in Lystra. Others witness this and believe Paul and Barnabas are Greek gods. They are distressed by the people's belief and argue boldly they are not. They are human. They tell the people the Good News, but their message is not received. The Jews who had planned to stone them in Iconium, won the crowds in Lystra. They stoned Paul but God sustained him. His work was not finished.
