Key Text: “One night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, ‘Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent; for I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you to harm you, for there are many in this city who are my people’ ” (Acts 18:9-10, NRSV).
Read in Class: Romans 1:1 and 1 Corinthians 1:1.
Study: What two elements of Paul’s ministry are emphasized in these passages? (See also Gal. 1:1.)
Apply: Paul was called to be an apostle. What is your calling, and how do you know that it is your calling? If you don’t think you have one, why not go right now to God and ask Him to show you the work He chose you to do?
Share: Anyone can call themselves an apostle or a prophet. Share how you know if someone has really received the calling they claim to have received.
Read in Class: Acts 17:16-34.
Study: Where was Paul before going to Corinth, and what did he do there?
Apply: Read Acts 18:1-11. What can we learn from Paul’s missionary activity in Athens and Corinth? What makes sharing the gospel so challenging in our cities and communities today? How can we share the gospel with success in these difficult places? What strategies can we learn from Paul’s missionary activity about how to best do that?
Share: How has changing your environment changed the methods you use to share Jesus with those around you?
Read in Class: Acts 18:1-8, 1 Corinthians 5:9-11, and 1 Corinthians 8:4.
Study: What can we infer about Corinth’s economy, morality, and religious life? What were the results of Paul’s preaching?

Share: Read Acts 18:9-10. How did God encourage Paul with the challenges he faced? Share how God encourages you with the challenges you face when sharing Jesus with others.

What Does It Mean to Be Human? | Unlocking Bible Answers – Episode 8
What Does It Mean to Be Human? In this new episode of Unlocking Bible Answers, Pastor Jerry Smith joins us to explore one of the Bible's most foundational truths: what it means to be made in God's image. We will address common questions and misconceptions about human nature, sin, redemption, and the hope of restoration. If you have questions, drop them in the comments below. Our team will do its best to respond. In this video, we explore key questions like: – What does it mean that I'm made "in God's image"? Does that mean I look like God?
– If God made us perfect, why did humans fall into sin? And why did God allow that to happen?
– Why do I have to inherit sin and death from Adam? Is that fair? What about innocent babies?
– Am I born bad? Does "fallen nature" mean I'm naturally evil?
– If I have evil tendencies built in, how much of my sin is my fault? Can I really choose to be good?
– What does it mean that Jesus reconciles us to God, and how does that change my life practically?
– Does God love me if I'm born with a sinful nature and weaknesses?
– What's this "indivisible unity of body, mind, and spirit"? How is it different from having a soul?
– How can I know if God is actually restoring me? What does spiritual transformation look like?
– Is there hope for someone like me? Want to go deeper? Watch these related videos: Unveiling the Image of God in Man and Woman – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMCMqsk7yZo

Monday: From Athens to Corinth
Daily Lesson for Monday 29th of June 2026
Read Acts 17:16-34. Where was Paul before going to Corinth, and what did he do there?
Acts 17:16-34 describes Paul’s preaching to the Athenians before his going to Corinth. Apparently, he did not plan to visit Athens at that moment, but went there with the help of some friends because of the opposition that he faced at Berea (Acts 17:13-15).

Those who went with Paul to Athens returned to Berea with a command for Timothy and Silas to join him as soon as possible (Acts 17:15). Acts 17:16-34 is about what Paul does while waiting for them. He speaks about Jesus in the synagogue, the marketplace, and the Areopagus. He really couldn’t stop talking about Jesus and took advantage of every opportunity to do it.
Read Acts 18:1-11. What does Paul do when he arrives at Corinth and during his whole stay in that city?
Paul went to Corinth during his second missionary journey. Luke informs us that Paul stayed there a year and a half.
As usual, Paul begins his missionary activity at the synagogue (Acts 18:4-6). Acts 17:1-2 mentions that this was his custom. He followed the “to-the-Jew-first” strategy (Romans 1:16, Acts 13:46), just as Jesus had commanded His apostles (see Acts 1:8).
When finally Silas and Timothy joined him in Corinth, he “was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus” (Acts 18:5, ESV). During his stay in Corinth, he was busy “teaching the word of God” (Acts 18:11, NKJV). It was in this context, too, that he expressed those famous words that he was “determined not to know anything among” the Corinthians “except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2, NKJV).

Let’s Take Back Adventism
Adventism wasn’t built by people who thought they had everything figured out. It was built by people who were hungry for more truth. People who believed God was still leading. People who were willing to change their minds. People who understood there was a very real possibility they were wrong about some things—and that Jesus […] Source: https://atoday.org/lets-take-back-adventism/
