All Scriptures in NKJV

“Wear This World Like a Loose Shirt”

Acts 18:5-17

Opening
Scripture: Paul’s 18 months in Corinth

Acts 18: 5-17 ... (5) “When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. (6) But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, “Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” (7) And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. (8) Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized. (9) Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;

(10) for I am with you,
and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.” (11) And he continued
there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

(12) When Gallio was
proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought
him to the judgment seat, (13)
saying, “This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.” (14) And when Paul was
about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of
wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews, there would be reason why I should bear
with you.(15) But
if it is a question of words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves;
for I do not want to be a judge of such matters.” (16) And he drove them from the judgment
seat. (17) Then all
the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the
judgment seat. But Gallio took no notice of these things.”

Paul’s
Breakaway (one of many):

Acts 18:6-7 … (6)“
But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he
shook his garments and said to them, “Your blood be upon your own heads; I am
clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”(7) And he departed from there and entered the
house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was
next door to the synagogue.”

          Ezekiel 33: 1-6 .. (Only Mention this – no need
for overhead)

Remember … (Paul Stoned and Raised Up)

Acts 14:19-20 ..(19)
“Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the
multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to
be dead.

(20) However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.” 

Remember…”The Roll Call of the
Heroes of Faith”

Hebrews 11:1&6 ...”Faith”

(1) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen. ……(6) But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who
comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek Him.”

Hebrews 11:8-9 – “Abraham”
