" I need your kind advise on this topic as I am sitting for test next month, thanks.

Paul made use of a combination of several ways to prepare fruits of his labor to be

consolidated into churches. Ref: Acts 18:1-11, 19:8-10, 20:17-35, 20:1-5."

I am not really sure where this is going as far as:

" a combination of several ways to prepare fruits of his labor to be consolidated into

churches"

Let's see ……

Act 18:1-11 (KJV)

1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.

3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews [that] Jesus [was] Christ.

6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook [his] raiment, and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I [am] clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain [man's] house, named Justus, [one] that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.

8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.

11 And he continued [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Here we see that Paul was in Corrinth after The Jews had been exiled for Rome. Let's ask ourselves

some questions.

Where what he? .................... Corrinth

Where did he go ....................in the synagogue, Home of Justus

What did he do ? ...................1. reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath

2. testified to the Jews [that] Jesus [was] Christ.

3. 3. teaching the word of God among them

Who was the audience? ....... Jews and Greeks

What happened?.................. 1. Paul went to the synagouge every sabbath and testified to the Jews

that Jesus was Christ.

2. Some of the Jews opposed themselves and blasphemed.

3. Paul left going to the synagogue and went unto the Gentiles (Justus' house).

4. Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord

and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

5. Paul continued [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God

among them.
