Lystra

What happens when the things we're devoted to aren't necessarily bad, but they've quietly taken the place that belongs to God? In "Lystra," the fourth message of "Paul's Travels," Rev. Laura Fanizza follows Paul into a small but deeply religious city where a miraculous healing sets off a case of mistaken divine identity. When the people of Lystra assume Paul and Barnabas must be Zeus and Hermes, their reaction isn't foolishness. It's a deeply human response to unmet needs and a worldview that made complete sense to them. With warmth and honesty, Rev. Fanizza draws a direct line from ancient idolatry to the pedestals we build in our own hearts today, and offers a practical, grace-filled Lenten roadmap for anyone who wants to put Christ back at the center, one small change at a time.
