Summary

After Paul and Barnabas are mistaken for gods, Paul addresses the fervent crowd in Acts 14:11-19 to redirect their worship to the one true God. As Paul boldly explains the folly of idolatry and points to how God reveals Himself through creation, his words once again incite hostility, culminating in a violent uprising against him.

Acts chapter 14 is where we left off in our studies.

0:04.3

So if you turn there, we left Paul and Barnabas kind of in part of their, his first missionary journey.

0:14.3

And we've been sort of tracking that, you know, on a map on Wednesday night.

0:18.6

I'm just going to give you kind of the fast version here.

0:20.5

But, you know, the whole thing kind of starts in Antioch of Syria. There's two Antiochs,

one of Syria. And then from Antioch, we saw them go to the coast and catch a ship. The Bible

0:32.7

tells us they made all the way over to Cyprus, that island just in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Israel

0:39.6

in Lebanon today. But the two main cities, Salamis and Paphos, were the two places they stopped,

You know, Wednesday, we're going to study all of chapter 14, but we want to zoom in on the

1:16.5

little section, but there's a little bit of a story to catch you up. So in Iconium, there was,

1:22.2

you know, Paul and Barnum was preaching the gospel. There were some miracles that happened

1:26.8

and what have you, and it was an amazing thing,

1:28.9

but some Jews that were contrary to the gospel.

1:32.8

They hated Paul, and they hated Barnabas, and they stirred up trouble.

1:36.4
