The Kingdom of God doesn’t advance through impressive strategies or personalities. It grows through humble, steady faithfulness. Acts 18 gives us a portrait of God’s servants staying faithful through weakness, transitions, and relationships. Paul has suffered greatly by the time we read Acts 18. He has been beaten, mocked, put in prison, chased out of cities, and lands in one of the most sinful cities of their day, Corinth. Paul demonstrates faithfulness in each region he travels to and remains steadfast in God’s mission in each trial. God’s Kingdom is being built through faithful followers of Jesus.
