Ep. 56 Are You Suffering? | Brandon Block

This week at Zion, we continue in Acts 14 where Paul and Barnabas return to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch after Paul and stoned in Lystra. There they strengthen and encourage their new disciples by telling them, "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God" in verse 22.
