In the latest entry into our series in Acts we see Paul coming to the city of Corinth for the first time. In contrast to the culture and modernity of Athens Corinth was – to borrow Chris’ words – a cesspool full of immorality and sin. Paul initially journeys there alone and preaches the Gospel almost in his spare time between working with Aquila making tents before being joined again by Silas and Timothy after which he was able to totally devote himself to his teaching. Later he gets thrown out of the local synagogue and decides to plant a church right next door! God calls us to preach his word regardless of our circumstances and we are reminded that He is always with us in our endeavours.

Susan leads the rest of the service as we receive an update on our mission of the month for October, YWAM, and Pete leads our sung worship.
