21.18: Teaching the Good News: 2 New Important Cities and a Little Encouragement from Jesus

In Acts 18, we follow Paul as he visits two very prominent and important  cities. The first is Corinth in Greece. It was a major trade hub and a  short boat ride from Athens. Paul will spend a year and a half there.  Then he goes to Ephesus (ruins pictured above) another important city in  Asia (today’s Turkey). We’ll touch on their importance after the  reading. And, of course, no visit from Paul is without opposition… Let’s  dig in… Click on over to my blog where there's a map of Paul's 2nd missionary journey, links for you to dig deeper as well as a specially selected worship music video at the bottom... Jesus said, “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.” ~ ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:22‬ ‭NLT‬‬ - this is repeated 14 times in scripture. Kind of gives the idea that God wants us to pay attention.  If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.  Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Jesus is coming back soon! Are you ready?
