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.
