Now at Iconium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue andspoke in such a waythat a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed.
Do you wonder what that 'way' was that Paul and Barnabus used to address the Jews and Greeks in Iconium? I do! Probably no PowerPoints or cute anecdotes or clever jokes. "They proclaimed the Word of God," v 5, "the teaching of the Lord," v12,“Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen.”, v 17, “And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers,” v32, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you.” v46.
See the pattern, John. Start with the Gospel, preach the Gospel and wrap you message up by quoting the Scriptures.
Today's readings in the Psalms:
Morning: Psalm 123
