Deadly Missionary Work at Lystra - Matt Postiff
A main idea from the book of Acts is the work of the Spirit in the early Christians to propagate the gospel and start new churches. In Acts 13 and 14 record the first forays into the Gentile world with the gospel. We are to continue teaching the same kinds of things they did, starting churches like they did, ministering to people like they did, refusing idolatrous worship like they did, dealing with persecution like they did, etc. God will ensure that His word makes the progress He wants it to make. People will be saved and transformed.
