Acts Chapter 18 – Tentmaking Disciples Produce Tentmaking Disciples
…a message from Chaplain Aaron

1. WORKING Together in the Gospel – vs. 1-17
   a. Paul, a working evangelist
   1 Corinthians 9:6 & 9 & 18 6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working? 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? Deuteronomy 25:4 18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. 2 Corinthians 11:8
   b. Aquila & Pricilla – From Pontus – near Mt. Ararat, evicted from Rome, Living in Corinth
   c. Tentmakers, modular home construction
   Ephesians 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
   2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
   USA is a very blessed country. We’ve got it made. So… we should live by example to our children, other Believers and our neighbors. We work so we can provide.
   FYI… The result “…many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.” verse 8
