主讲：丘均发传道

 一、孤身时神备同伴（徒18:1-5）

1. 同舟共济（V1-3）
保罗独自来到道德败坏的哥林多，没钱、没同伴，只能重操旧业织帐棚维生。就在最孤单的时候，神让他遇见亚居拉和百基拉，三个异乡人从此同住同工。

很多时候，神的同在是为我们预备同伴，把同路人带到我们身边。

2. 同心合意（V4-5）
当西拉和提摩太从马其顿来到保罗身边时，他们不但带来关怀，也带来经济支持，使保罗能专心传福音。

神不要我们孤军奋战。我们需要生命中的“西拉和提摩太”，也要学习成为别人的“西拉和提摩太”，彼此扶持，同心前行。

二、绝境中神引新路（徒18:6-8）

1. 识时转道（V6-7）
保罗尽心向同胞传福音，却遭到拒绝和毁谤，于是转向外邦人继续传福音。他用行动证明：人的拒绝，拦阻不了神的使命。

被拒绝不是终点，而可能是神开启新路的记号；适时转道，不是放弃，而是继续前进。 

2. 见证翻转（V8）
保罗带领管会堂的基利司布全家信主，这个翻转震动了整个哥林多。

不要为神的作为设限。最刚硬的人，也可能成为下一个被神翻转的人。

三、黑夜中神赐应许（徒18:9-17）

1. 领受应许（V9-11）
当保罗面对压力挑战时，主在夜里赐异象对他说：“不要怕，只管讲，因为我与你同在。” 因此，保罗安心留在哥林多一年半，持续教导神的道。 

面对生活的压力和未知的明天，我们难免会害怕。但神说：“不要怕，因为我与你同在。” 当我们相信祂的应许，就能在风浪中依然平安无惧。

2. 恶人自辱（V12-17）
犹太人想借官府对付保罗，但迦流拒绝受理。结果，福音没有被定罪，神的应许也得着应验；恶人想拦阻神的工作，最终自取其辱。 

面对不公平和误解时，不要灰心，神仍在掌权。坚持行在真理中，把结果交给主；恶人的计谋，终必归于徒然。

四、交替中神有使命（徒18:18-28）

1. 放手传承（V18-22）
保罗没有停留在哥林多的成功里，而是带着百基拉和亚居拉去到以弗所，并留下他们开拓，自己继续前行。

真正有使命的人，不只自己往前走，也愿意栽培和成全别人。

2. 彼此成全（V24-28）
这时出现了一个人，名叫亚波罗。他很有恩赐，却对福音认识不够完整。百基拉和亚居拉耐心教导，他也谦卑领受。

生命的成长要继续学习。愿意受教的人，神必不断塑造，并大大使用他。

总结：
神的计划和应许从不落空，神的儿女也从不被遗忘；因为神的同在，永远是我们的保护和力量。 




  

Acts Chapter 18: Fearless Because God Is with us 
GK611 Morning Devotion 
04.06.2026
Speaker: Ps Daniel Kew


 I. When We Are Alone, God Provides Companions (Acts 18:1–5) 

1.Sharing the Journey (V1–3)
Paul arrived in the morally corrupt city of Corinth alone. He had no money and  companions, so he returned to his trade of tentmaking to support himself. Yet in his loneliest moment, God brought Aquila and Priscilla into his life. These three strangers in a foreign land began living and serving together.

Many times, God's presence is expressed through the companions He provides for us, bringing fellow travelers alongside us in our journey.

2.United in Purpose (V4–5)
When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, they brought not only encouragement but also financial support, enabling Paul to devote himself fully to preaching the gospel.
God never intended for us to fight our battles alone. We need "Silases and Timothys" in our lives, and we should also learn to become a "Silas" or "Timothy" for others—supporting one another and moving forward together in unity.

 II. In Desperate Situations, God Opens New Paths (Acts 18:6–8) 

1.Knowing When to Change Direction (V6–7)
Paul wholeheartedly preached the gospel to his fellow Jews, but they rejected and opposed him. As a result, he turned to the Gentiles and continued proclaiming the good news. Through his actions, he demonstrated that human rejection cannot hinder God's mission.

Rejection is not the end; it may be God's way of opening a new path. Changing direction at the right time is not giving up—it is continuing to move forward.

2. A Testimony of Transformation (v8)
Paul led Crispus, the synagogue ruler, and his entire household to faith in Christ. This dramatic transformation made a profound impact on the city of Corinth.

Never limit what God can do. The hardest heart may become the next life transformed by His grace.

 III. God Gives His Promise in the misdt of darkness (Acts 18:9–17) 

1.Receiving God's Promise (V9–11)
As Paul faced pressure and opposition, the Lord appeared to him in a vision during the night and said, "Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, for I am with you." Because of this promise, Paul remained in Corinth for a year and a half, faithfully teaching the Word of God.

When we face life's pressures and an uncertain future, fear can easily arise. Yet God says, "Do not be afraid, for I am with you." When we trust His promises, we can experience peace and have courage even in the midst of life's storms.

2.The Wicked Bring Shame Upon Themselves (V12–17)
The Jews attempted to use the government authorities against Paul, but Gallio refused to hear the case. As a result, the gospel was not condemned, God's promise was fulfilled and 

those who sought to hinder God's work ultimately brought shame upon themselves.
When faced with injustice and misunderstanding, do not lose heart. God is still sovereign. Continue walking in the truth and leave the outcome in His hands. The schemes of the wicked will ultimately come to nothing.

 IV. In Times of Transition, God Has a Mission (Acts 18:18–28) 

1.Letting Go and Passing the Torch (V18–22)
Paul did not remain in the comfort of his success in Corinth. Instead, he traveled to Ephesus with Priscilla and Aquila, leaving them there to continue the work while he pressed on to the next assignment.
A person with a true sense of mission does not simply move forward alone but is also willing to equip, mentor, and empower others.

2. Building One Another Up (V24–28)
At this time, a man named Apollos appeared. He was gifted and eloquent, yet his understanding of the gospel was incomplete. Priscilla and Aquila patiently instructed him, and he humbly received their teaching.

Spiritual growth requires a willingness to keep learning. Those who are teachable will continually be shaped by God and greatly used for His purposes.

 Conclusion：
God's plans and promises never fail, and His children are never forgotten. Because God is with us, His presence will always be our protection, strength and the source of courage.
