Acts 18:1-11
Proposition Statement:

Intro:
Sanibonani, Dumelang, Howzit. Good to see you.
It is week 1 in our several month study of 1 Corinthians, and naturally you need to please turn in your bible to...Acts 18.
Now that will make sense to some of you, but certainly not all of you. Let me just explain to you briefly how your New Testament hangs together.
Gospels - Historical account of the life, teachings, death and resurrection of Jesus. Ends with Jesus telling them to go and take the message to the world.
Acts - The historical account (written as a sequel to the gospel of Luke) of the early church following that instruction and the way it grew and spread through the then known world.
Epistles - The letters that were sent to the churches that we saw planted in Acts, establishing doctrine, structure etc. 1 Corinthians is one of those letters and in order to set the scene for it we are going to look at how that church got its start from the historical account in Acts.
Okay, so in Acts 18, you see the planting of the church that Paul is going to address in 1 and 2 Corinthians. This is the formation of the church that he will later have to correct. It helps us to know what kind of soil the seed was planted in.
Let me read the entire account to you, and then we will come back and break it up into some learnings.
