As we come to Acts 18, we see the apostle Paul in a state of discouragement and fear. He needed to be encouraged! He needed God’s sustaining grace to pour over him in this time of weakness. And he found encouragement through the words of God, the working of God, and the people of God. In the same way, when we are discouraged, we can find encouragement in God and our community of faith.
Scripture: Acts 18:1-17
