PASSAGE: In Iconium, In Lystra and Derbe, The Return to Antioch in Syria
MEMORY VERSE: "Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain" 1 Corinthains 15:58
NOTES: (v.1-7) Paul and Barnabas went to Iconium and spoke boldly in the name of the Lord so that a great number believed. But those who did not believe poisoned their minds against the brothers so that the city was divided. There was a plot to stone them, but they found out about it and fled.
-(v.8-20) A crippled man in Lystra listened intently to Paul as he spoke, and Paul saw that he had the faith to be healed. So Paul told the man to stand up on his feet, and he immediately jumped up and began to walk. At this, the people tried to worship Paul and Barnabas as gods, but the brothers tore their clothes at this and gave glory to God. Even so, they had difficulty preventing the crowd from sacrificing to them. Then, some Jews from Antioch came and stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. But he got up and went back into the city and left for Derbe.
-(v.21-28) In Derbe, they preached the good news and won a large number of disciples. They returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, encouraging them to remain true to the Lord.
"We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God."
ACT OF LOVE: Today was the Play Production showcase, which was "pay what you can" (minimum like $1). Since I'm part of the Drama department, my teacher said that we didn't have to pay to get in. However, I know that the Drama department depends on funds such as these, since the district doesn't really give us money. So I decided to donate! :)
