It is possible that when the apostle Paul came to Corinth that he was somewhat downcast. There had not been many of the philosophers at Athens, or other people, who had come to Christ. Compared with what he had seen the Lord do in other places like Thessalonica and Berea, the results were not very encouraging. And then, his co-workers Silas and Timothy were not yet back with him at that time when he first came to Corinth. They had not arrived yet to help him in the ministry. And then, too, he was low on money and he knew that he was going to need to work to provide for his own needs. And so at this time I want to show you how the Lord ministered to Paul's spirit to encourage him through the brethren around him, to continue on in his ministry. We want to see how it was, that the Lord brought him out of his discouragement. 1st of all – We will look at how the Lord, through Priscilla and Aquila, helped Paul. 2nd – We will look at how Silas and Timothy and a man named Justus helped Paul during and after his preaching. And 3rd – We will look at how the Lord Himself helped Paul by speaking to him in a vision of the night. The object of this message is to learn for all of us to think about what we can do to encourage the minister of the gospel by our laboring together with him as his friends.
