This week the boys a.k.a. Paul and Barnabas head to Iconium, Derbe, Lystra, and then back to Antioch. They are preaching the gospel to anyone and everyone. Gender and race do not matter at all. Paul and Barnabas understand that the Holy Spirit can come upon anyone who believes in Jesus Christ. They start in Iconium, but find trouble immediately, so they leave before things get bad. In Lystra Paul heals a crippled man. They city erupts with gladness and wants to sacrifice animals to Paul and Barnabas, calling them gods. They both beg the men of Lystra to not forgo any sacrifices because they were used by God. They themselves did nothing. Soon the crowd changes and Paul gets stoned and thrown out of the city. When the disciples find him he gets up and heads back into the same town that tried to kill him. Paul Rocks!!!
