1 Now at Iconium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed. 

2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. 

3 So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 

4 But the people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews and some with the apostles. 

5 When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them, 

6 they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country, 

7 and there they continued to preach the gospel.

3)  

Acts 14:8–10 (NLT)

8 While they were at Lystra, Paul and Barnabas came upon a man with crippled feet. He had been that way from birth, so he had never walked. He was sitting

10 So Paul called to him in a loud voice, “Stand up!” And the man jumped to his feet and started walking.

“God moving in your life is directly related to your Faith in God throughout your life.” 

Acts 14:14–15 (NLT)

14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard what was happening, they tore their clothing in dismay and ran out among the people, shouting, 

15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We are merely human beings—just like you! We have come to bring you the Good News that you should turn from these worthless things and turn to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them.
