Even the great Paul the Apostle got scared sharing the gospel. Acts 18 shows us Paul in Corinth. He later writes to the church in 1 Corinthians that when he came to them, he came in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. In our passage today, Jesus comes to Paul at one point and says, “Don’t be afraid! Speak out! Don’t be silent!” This at least implies that Paul was tempted to be silent and not to speak the gospel. I’ll bet you can relate to that like me. What I want to do is read our passage, Acts 18:1 –17, and then I want to encourage us—your heart and my own heart—with four truths in this text. My hope is that a few minutes from now, every follower of Jesus in our gatherings will be encouraged and emboldened in a fresh way to share the gospel with somebody this week. Just one person. So that’s where all of this is headed.
