Paul's Pattern for Preaching_08 Acts 14:1-7This Chapter 14 gives a clear picture of God's pattern for preaching, for bearing witness to His name. The pattern is seen in what Paul and Barnabas experienced. On the move, but not easily moved because of difficulties. When Paul and Barnabas was expelled from Antioch in Pisidia, they took off the dust of their feet and they went to Iconium. When the people there tried to stone them, they went to Lystra, where they were treated like gods. The crowds are different in every area and place throughout the world. When the crowd changed their minds and began to stone Paul, he just got up and went to Derby. That was not all. Paul and Barnabas had the courage to retrace their steps so that they could help encourage the new Christians and when they returned home. They told the church what the Lord had done, not what they had suffered. Paul and Barnabas put Christ first, other second, and themselves last. They had a job to do, and they were determined by God's grace to do it. How much does it take to move you out of the will of God? Paul's Pattern was seven steps. Their experience shows exactly what God expects of His servant and exactly what the servant can expect as he preaches the glorious gospel of the Lord Jesus.
