Good Morning Talk on August 1, 2023 - "Time of Settling" Part 1/2

The city of Corinth, in modern day Greece, is where the Apostle Paul in the first century settles in on in the 18th chapter of Acts. We meet him here in our discussions. Why did he leave Athens so quickly? Why does he begin a long stay in Corinth? How does Jesus present himself within the first eleven verses? What does He say to Paul? We begin our talk today looking into these things, while reflecting on our own walks, in our time in history.

Today's shared verses ...
Acts 18:1-11
After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them, and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks. When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue. Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
