Acts 18 comes alive with practical wisdom for real life. This lesson follows Paul after the courtroom scene in Corinth and into the next stretch of his journey, from public conflict to steady ministry steps.
Key moments include the beating of Sosthenes before Gallio and what that teaches about contempt, public disputes, and the cost of standing too close to someone else’s fight. There’s also clear counsel for believers living in tense times, keep your speech peaceable, tell the truth without exaggeration, don’t repay insult with insult, and trust God with outcomes you can’t control.
The study also tracks Paul’s vow, his disciplined private devotion, and the travel notes that show how long-term faithfulness works, teach, endure, leave well, follow up, repeat. Paul reaches Ephesus, reasons in the synagogue, then moves on with purpose, leaving truth behind and returning when God allows.
