How can the gospel grow here?

“So the word of the Lord was spreading through the entire region” Acts 13.49.

1. There must be willing servants, without fear, Acts 13.14-43, 46.
2. There must be someone who speaks and convinces, Acts 13.43.
3. There must be obedience to send, no excuses, Acts 13.1-3, 47.
4. Rejection opens the door to others who are receptive, Acts 13.46, 48. It’s key not to become discouraged and to seek the sincere heart.
5. There must be emphasis on eternal life and salvation of the soul, Acts 13.46-48.
