Acts 14

Embrace the Inevitability of Suffering: Following Jesus promises cosmic and worldly battles rather than popularity.

Reflect All Glory to God: Ministry must never be a platform for personal glory or adulation.

Prioritize Church Discipleship and Organization: Solidifying local leadership and praying with fasting remain essential to the stability of any congregation.

Rely on Boldness Amidst Division: The gospel message is polarizing. Even when unbelieving crowds embittered the minds of Gentiles in Iconium, Paul and Barnabas “spoke boldly in the Lord” rather than retreating from opposition.
