Gen Z: Acts 14
1So, in Iconium, they rolled up to the Jewish synagogue and dropped some truth, and a whole squad of Jews and Greeks were like, “We believe!”
2But the haters, the unbelieving Jews, got the Gentiles all riled up, spreading mad negativity against the crew.
3They were out here for a minute, speaking bold vibes in the Lord, who was showing off with signs and wonders through them.
4The city was split, some vibing with the Jews, and others riding with the apostles.
5Then the Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, tried to come at them hard and stone them, and it was sus.
6They peeped the drama and dipped to Lystra and Derbe, chilling in the surrounding area.
7And there, they were preaching the gospel, spreading the good news.
8There was this dude at Lystra, totally unable to walk since birth, just sitting there.
9He heard Paul speaking, and Paul locked eyes with him, seeing he had the faith to get healed.
10Paul shouted, “Get up on your feet!” And dude just bounced up and started walking.
11When the squad saw what Paul did, they were like, "OMG, the gods just pulled up as humans!"
12They dubbed Barnabas as Jupiter and Paul as Mercurius 'cause he was the main speaker, no cap.
13Then the priest of Jupiter, from their city, brought oxen and flowers to the gates, ready to pop off with a sacrifice.
14When the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, peeped this, they ripped their clothes and ran to the crowd, yelling,
15"Yo, why y'all doing this? We’re just like you, and we’re here to tell you to ditch these fake vibes and turn to the real God who made heaven, earth, the sea, and everything in it."
16He let all the nations do their thing back in the day.
17But he didn’t leave us hanging; he showed up with good vibes, giving us rain from heaven and lit seasons, filling our hearts with food and joy.
18With all that, they barely stopped the crowd from sacrificing to them.
19Then some Jews from Antioch and Iconium rolled up, convinced the crowd, and after they stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, thinking he was done for.
20But the disciples stood around him, and he got back up and went into the city; the next day, he bounced with Barnabas to Derbe.
21After they spread the gospel in that city and taught a bunch of peeps, they bounced back to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, no cap.
22They were boosting the disciples' vibes, telling them to keep the faith strong, 'cause we gotta go through some struggles to get into God's kingdom, fr.
23They picked out some elders for every church, prayed hard, and handed them over to the Lord, who they totally believed in.
24Then they cruised through Pisidia and rolled up to Pamphylia.
25After preaching the word in Perga, they dipped down to Attalia, lit.
26From there, they sailed back to Antioch, where they were sent off to vibe with God's grace for the work they crushed.
27When they arrived and gathered the church, they spilled the tea on everything God did with them and how He opened the faith door for the Gentiles, periodt.
28They kicked it there for a minute with the disciples, just vibing.
