A New NormalSample

 Day 18

In Acts 18, we find a frustrated Paul in Corinth (southern Greece). Some of the Jewish cohort in Corinth are refusing to listen to his message. In response, Paul makes a decision to preach exclusively to Non-Jewish communities. 

Priscilla and Aquila are a couple who own a tent-making business. They both help Paul to preach the Gospel in the different cities that he visits. 

So far we have seen that Paul rarely ever preaches the Gospel alone. We have met Barnabas, John, Mark, Silas and Timothy. The point is that Paul is not living out his purpose by himself. He often had people with him to spur him on and help him. 

The Christian life is meant to be lived out in community. We cannot live out this new normal alone. We need God and we need each other. The New Normal is finding people we can be honest and open with and spurring one another on.
