Unstoppable - Acts 18 (Edgewater)

By Pastor Justin Elam, June 29, 2025

Acts 18:1 After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
Acts 18:2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them,
Acts 18:3 and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.
Acts 18:4 Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.
Acts 18:5 When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
Acts 18:9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.
Acts 18:10 For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.”
Acts 18:11 So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.

God is most active when you are actively in community.

God’s presence is seen through His people.

Acts 18:23 After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out from there and traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Acts 18:24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures.
Acts 18:26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.

Community brings humility.

“Humility is knowing and using my strengths for the benefit of others.”

The movement needs me.
