We saw that early on in acts mass conversions seamed to come easily. Now that we are at corinth it seems to be a bit more difficult. Paul is extremely frustrated and ready to move on, but God tells him to stick it out he’ll be safe from harm. Paul is a great example of obedience and patience as he sticks it out another year and a half their. How many of us would continue on for that long with no obvious forward momentum?
Its also great to see that Paul does all he can to go back to churches that he’d been at before to continue to support and encourage them. Good lesson to learn their, just cause it may look like someone is up on their feet it doesn’t hurt to continue to let them know your their for them.
In Ephesus the gospel is received well as the people begin to realize that it not about Paul it God. The opposition that came against Paul here didn’t come from a group of people that believed differently it was purely a group concerned with their idol making business.
