Acts - Weakness and Fear

By the time we have reached Acts 18, Paul has already been through a long list of terrible challenges and trials. Between the years 49 and 52 AD, Paul traveled approximately two thousand miles by foot and about a thousand miles by boat. When he reached Corinth, something happened to Paul. Despite remarkable success in gospel ministry in Corinth, Paul’s confidence seemed to evaporate. He seemed to be overcome with fear and tempted to remain silent. Yet when he seemed ready to quit, the sovereign Lord, gives Him an assuring word and fulfills a promise to Him.
