This lesson is about the further Journeys of Paul, which leads to the traveling in a city called Iconium.
Apostle Paul story begins of the healing of a lame man which came from his mother's womb , carried to the gate of the temple called Beautiful found in serve Bibles , in Acts 3:2-8 version of (NKVJ), (KVJ).
It also speaks of when Peter and John where look on us, and they gave heed unto God people, the people were expecting to recieve something of them when they went into the land of Iconium. Peter said to them I don't have Silver and gold, but such as I have give thee, In the Name of Jesus Christ of Narareth riseup and walk. Peter took this lame man by his right hand and lifted him up and immediately his feet and ancles bones recieved strength. They entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God.
Acts (14) speaks of gods pop up, but Paul stood up and told them that they had delivered the same messages from God, to turn away from the useless things to the Living God, that we are made humans in God image, who He made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them, which He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
This is how Paul first journey open doors to the Gentiles, after being stoned and left for dead and rose up and coming back into the city the next day with Barnabas and stayed there for sometimes bringing more to Christ and ordaining them to elders in the every church. After there traveling to many cities then they sailed to Antioch and the church there proclaimed how God had open door to the Gentiles.
