Episode Description
Today we are studying Acts Chapter 14. In this chapter, Paul and Barnabas continue preaching the gospel with boldness, even while facing rejection, division, persecution, and danger. In Iconium, many believe, but others stir up opposition. In Lystra, God heals a man who had never walked, but the people misunderstand and try to worship Paul and Barnabas as gods. Later, Paul is stoned and left for dead, yet he rises and continues the mission. Acts 14:22 says, “Strengthening the disciples by encouraging them to continue in the faith and by telling them, ‘It is necessary to pass through many troubles on our way into the kingdom of God.’” This chapter reminds us that following Christ may bring hardship, but God strengthens His people to endure.
