Acts 14
1-7 - Iconium
- Both Jews and Greeks believe
- Unbelieving Jews stir up Gentiles and "poison" their minds
- The Lord "testifies to the word of his grace" with signs and wonders
- Both Jews and Gentiles plot to stone Paul and Barnabas, and they flee
- Heal a crippled man
- Are mistaken for gods. There is a tendency for men to praise the creature (the preacher) rather than the Creator.
- Lystra - Jews from Iconium come and incite crowds, who stone Paul and drag him out of the city, leaving him for dead.
- 20 - A miracle here? The disciples surround Paul, and he calmly gets up and goes on to Derbe with Barnabas
- Many disciples in Galatia
- Paul and Barnabas encourage disciples in Lystra, Iconium and Antioch of Pisidia. They go right back to those place where they had been so mistreated. Under the circumstance, it was vital for those who believed. What encouragement they must have received from seeing Paul and Barnabas again!
- Paul's message: "It is through many persecutions that we must enter the kingdom of God."
- They appoint elders in each church
- They return to their sending church - Antioch of Syria
