Open A Door Of Faith (in Galatia) S5e93 Acts14:27
Galatia isn't a city, it is a region. This is the region that "God opens a door of faith" to the gentiles. Essentially, the "first missionary journey" is to this region that includes the cities of
antioch of pisidia: "we are turning to the Gentiles" and dust shaking fame
Iconia: they wanted to stone him there
Lystra: this is where they killed Paul by stoning*
Derbe: lots of converts here including TIMOTHY
You wouldn't think so, but the 2nd half of the 1st missionary journey is to go BACK to all the cities that tried to kill him. Why? To strengthen the new churches and appoint elders. In fact as soon as Paul has time upon his return, he writes the book of GALATIANS to help them by letter.
Paul and Barnabas fulfill their calling. We should think about the work that God has for each of us. Primarily, that is a call to HIMSELF. Subscribe along this journey to God at : bewithme.us.
