A MESSAGE FROM THE APOSTLE PAUL

I. I plant the seed

II. God produces the fruit

Acts 18:1-11 After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. 2 There he

met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from

Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to

leave Rome. Paul went to see them, 3 and because he was a tentmaker as

they were, he stayed and worked with them. 4 Every Sabbath he reasoned

in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks. 5 When Silas and

Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to

preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. 6 But when the

Jews opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest

and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clear of my

responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” 7 Then Paul left the

synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of

God. 8 Crispus, the synagogue ruler, and his entire household believed in

the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard him believed and were

baptized. 9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid;

keep on speaking, do not be silent. 10 For I am with you, and no one is

going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” 11

So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.
