1. Paul at Corinth (Acts 18: 1-3)
At Corinth, Paul found a certain man Aquilia and his wife Priscilla who came from Italy because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.
2. Paul preached to the Jews and Gentiles (Acts 18: 4-8)
Every Sabbath, Paul preached in the synagogue trying to persuade the Jews and the Gentiles. The Jews opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them “Your blood be on your heads! I am innocent of it. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles.”
The two major groups that Paul preached the word of God to were the Jews and Gentiles.
3. Paul preached to all the nations in his communities (Acts 18: 11-18)
The lord spoke to Paul saying “Don’t be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you no one is going to attack and harm you”. So Paul stayed in Corinth for only a year and half preaching to all the nations in his communities.
