Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Spiritual Renewal

DAY 19 OF 30

  

June 19

Introduction

Paul and Barnabas continue their first missionary journey throughout Asia Minor, traveling to Iconium and Lystra. Those who oppose their teachings create trouble. Paul is stoned and dragged out of town, but when the believers gather around him, he gets up and goes on to Derbe with Barnabas. Before returning to Antioch in Syria, Paul and Barnabas go back to the places they had visited at the outset to strengthen and encourage the believers.

Today’s Scripture: Acts 14:15b (GNT)

[Barnabas and Paul shouted:] “We are here to announce the Good News, to turn you away from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven, earth, sea, and all that is in them.”

Today’s Reading 

Acts 14:1-28

Reflect

How did the people in Iconium react to the teachings of Paul and Barnabas? Who accepted their message? Who opposed them? What did the crowds in Lystra do? What did Barnabas and Paul say to the people? What does today’s reading teach you about the risks involved in proclaiming the Good News? Do people today face such risks? What is your understanding of the teaching “We must pass through many troubles to enter the Kingdom of God” (verse 22)? If you were asked to tell about all that God has done for you in your life, how would you answer?

Pray

Living God, you made heaven, earth, sea and all that is in them. My heart is filled with joy that comes from serving you. May the Good News of your love and salvation spread throughout the world. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading
