In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas continue their first missionary journey and discover that the advance of the gospel brings both extraordinary breakthrough and intense opposition. From miracles in Lystra to persecution and stoning, this chapter reveals that faithful Christian mission often involves suffering, perseverance, and spiritual courage. Yet through every hardship, God continues strengthening His church, saving people, and advancing His kingdom. This study explores the cost of discipleship, the power of the gospel among the nations, and the unshakable faithfulness of God in the midst of trials.
