Wrongly Sacrificing

Lystra

While in Lystra, Paul notices a lame man listening. He heals the man, and the people wrongly believe Paul and Barnabas to be gods. They try to offer sacrifices to the men while Paul and Barnabas insist they are just men. The same problem-people from Antioch and Iconium cause a mob which then stones Paul and throws his lifeless body out of the city. While the disciples are gathered around Paul’s body, Paul gets up and walks right back into the city!

Also in Philippi, Paul casts a demon out of a slave girl. Instead of being joyful, her owners are enraged, and the leadership beat and imprison Paul and Silas. Paul and Silas sing in prison, and an earthquake from God literally breaks off their chains and opens the doors.
Acts 16:16-26

The Land of Philosophers

Athens

The Listeners

Ephesus

In Ephesus, Paul discipled those who studied under Apollos. Apollos had not heard of the resurrection of Jesus and instead was limited to the teachings of John the Baptist. So Paul was able to expound the gospel to these men who then were baptized and received the Holy Spirit.
Acts 19:1-10

Extraordinary miracles were being performed by Paul in Ephesus. People were being healed and demons expelled. The Sons of Sceva wanted to show their power off and tried to do the same miracles, but without the power of the Holy Spirit, these men were unsuccessful.
