Acts 18

http://www.esvbible.org/Acts+18/

Paul goes to Corinth after he is laughed out of Athens. He stays with a tentmaker there so that he is able to pay for his stay through labor. He teaches Scripture in the Synagogue on worship days. First, he just tries to win them over by finding common ground with them and hanging out with them. Then, he begins teaching about how salvation can only be found in Jesus Christ. The Jewish people don't listen to him and throw him out, so he decides to teach to non-Jewish people. He has much more success with them. Paul stays in Corinth for a year and a half. When a new governor ruled in Greece, the people took Paul in front of him and accused him of teaching ways of worship contrary to Moses's teachings. The new governor, however, does not care. He says that he will not get involved with the ways Jews worship.

Paul continues to travel and teach. Many of the places where his letters go are mentioned in Acts: Ephesus and Galatia here. He also returns to Antioch for a while. It's important to return to your home church to strengthen your own faith with friends in your past. God continues to call Paul to travel and teach the Good News throughout the land.

A man named Apollos lived in Ephesus, and he taught ver accurately about Jesus, but he did not know all that much about who Jesus was and what he was all about, so some of Paul's disciples from Corinth took him under their wing and taught him what he needed to know. Then, he felt called to Greece, so the believers in Ephesus helped him get there, and he did great work spreading the Good News there.
