  4. Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

  5. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling 1 Corinthians 2:2-3

  6. Paul’s Ministry in CorinthActs 18:4-8

  7. 2 Corinthians 11:9 And when I was with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.

  8. Philippians 4:15 And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only.

  9. When I see one conversion, I do not envy Gabriel his throne or angels their harps. --Spurgeon

  10. Jesus’ Assurance in CorinthActs 18:9-11 Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 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.

  11. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling 1 Corinthians 2:3

  12. Jesus’ Assurance in CorinthActs 18:9-11 Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 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.

  13. I have many people in this city. I have many jewels hidden in this cesspool, and Paul, you're My man to pull them out. --MacArthur

  14. When I preach I regard neither doctors nor magistrates, of whom I have above forty in the congregation. I have all eyes on the servant maids and the children. And if the learned men are not well pleased with what they hear, well, the door is open. --Luther

  15. The Opposition in CorinthActs 18:12-17

  16. We've got to work together • There will always be opposition What do we learn?

  17. 1 Corinthians 16:9 …for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries. 2 Timothy 3:12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted

  18. We've got to work together • There will always be opposition • Your strength is from the Lord • Be faithful to your calling What do we learn?

  19. I cannot do it alone! The waves dash fast and high; The fog comes chilling around, And the light goes out in the sky. But I know that we two shall win in the end--Jesus and I. Coward, and wayward, and weak, I change with the changing sky, Today so strong and brave, Tomorrow too weak to fly; But HE never gives in! So we two shall win--Jesus and I! --Crawford
