In Acts 14:1-20, we journey with Paul and Barnabas on their missionary travels, experiencing the highs of fruitful ministry and the lows of fierce opposition. This passage offers timeless truths about enduring life’s fluctuations with unwavering faith and dependence on God.

1️⃣ Stay Committed
Despite challenges, Paul and Barnabas demonstrate steadfast commitment to spreading the Gospel. Whether met with belief or opposition, they trust in God’s plan and press forward. (1 Corinthians 3:6, Acts 14:3)

2️⃣ Stay Dependent
Miracles and opposition both call for reliance on God’s strength. Paul’s healing of a crippled man reminds us that God’s power works through those who trust Him fully. (Ephesians 6:10)

3️⃣ Stay Humble
When the people attempt to worship them, Paul and Barnabas redirect glory to God. Their humility ensures the message remains about Christ, not themselves. (1 Peter 5:5, Romans 1:20)

4️⃣ Stay Connected
Even after enduring persecution, Paul and Barnabas return to strengthen the churches they planted. Their perseverance highlights the importance of fostering unity and discipleship. (Acts 14:21-23, Romans 10:9-10)


Life is full of ups and downs, but as Psalm 23 reminds us, God is present in every valley and on every mountaintop. Following Paul’s example, we’re called to remain committed, dependent, humble, and connected as we live out our faith. Through it all, God is faithful to carry us through.
