Viral: Part 40 - The Stoning of Paul in Lystra

The key verse for today's sermon is Acts 14:22: "Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. In this message we will see how the mounting persecution of Paul and Barnabas reaches a crescendo resulting in the stoning of Paul by an angry mob of Jewish leaders from the synagogues recently visited. We will also see Paul and Barnabas reach the easternmost point of their journey, at which point they decide to take a much longer route back to Syrian Antioch by backtracking through the cities just visited, starting with Lystra where Paul was stoned! We will see how Paul and Barnabas establish leadership in the fledgling churches and demonstrate courage by not shrinking back from tribulation.
