MISSION POSSIBLE
Acts 18
Paul has been planting churches along his travels
We are on his 2nd mission trip
Last week, we heard how he addressed the MEN OF ANTHENS - and how he told them about the KNOWN GOD
Today we read that Paul in now in CORINTH
(Which letter (book) in the New Testament did Paul write to the people who lived in CORINTH?)
Here we learn that Paul had a trade
A way to provide for himself
PAUL WAS A TENT MAKER
The same as Aquila and Priscilla
If we go and read in his letter to the Corinthians
we will see how Paul uses the tents to teach us about Heaven
GO READ
2 CORINTHIANS 5 - NIV
For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, 3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
2 CORINTHIANS 5 - NLT
5 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down
(that is, when we die and leave this earthly body),
we will have a house in heaven,
an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.
2 We grow weary in our present bodies,
and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing.
3 For we will put on heavenly bodies;
we will not be spirits without bodies.
