Acts 18-19 – Changed by the Word – Part 2 [UPSIDE DOWN SERIES]

In today’s episode on Acts 18-19, Paul starts his third missionary journey. When we contrast much of contemporary evangelism with Paul’s, its shallowness shows up.

Our evangelism tends to be focused on simply inviting people to church. Paul also took the gospel out into the secular world. Our evangelism appeals to the emotions for a decision without an adequate basis of understanding. Paul taught, reasoned, and tried to persuade. Our evangelism is superficial, making brief encounters and expecting quick results. Paul stayed in Corinth and Ephesus for 5 years, faithfully sowing gospel seed and in due time reaping a harvest.
