Faithful in Trials & Victory

Acts 14:24-28 
24 And after they had passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. 25 Now when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed. 27 Now when they had come and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 So they stayed there a long time with the disciples.

Paul and Barnabas went to a few other cities before ending up in Antioch, where they had first been called and sent out by God's grace with the gospel.  Returning now, having finished the work they were to do, they gathered with the church and told of all God worked through them on the journey.  This included the door opening past the Jews of God's people to the world of His called out.  Then they stayed a while in fellowship with the followers of Christ.  What trials and victory in their obedient faithfulness!
