Week 3: Equipped Through Suffering: Paul and Barnabas in Lystra

Acts 14 shows that suffering isn't a sign of failure but a part of God’s plan to strengthen His followers. As Paul and Barnabas traveled through Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe, they experienced both success and intense opposition. Yet, through every challenge, God equipped them to stand firm, stay humble, and persevere with joy. This lesson reminds us that hardship is one of God’s most effective tools for shaping faith, preparing His people, and demonstrating the power of the gospel to endure in all circumstances.
