The book of Acts is far more than a history of the early Christians—it’s God’s blueprint for the Church. In Acts 18, we discover that Jesus continues to build His Church not through perfect people, but through faithful partnerships, Spirit-given encouragement, courageous witness, and intentional discipleship.
As Paul arrives in Corinth weary and discouraged, God provides exactly what he needs: faithful friends, renewed courage, divine protection, and opportunities for the gospel to flourish. We also meet Priscilla, Aquila, and Apollos, whose lives remind us that healthy churches are built as believers invest in one another and help each other grow in Christ.
Join us as we explore Acts 18 and discover what it means to be the kind of church Jesus is still building today.
In this study we’ll explore:
- Why God designed ministry to be done in community
- How Jesus strengthens His people when they are discouraged
- God’s sovereignty in protecting and advancing His mission
- The importance of discipleship and spiritual maturity
- What Acts 18 teaches us about the nature and mission of the Church
