Acts 18:18-23

Introduction: What we can learn from the end of a season?

Paul is moved to action by his relationship with God and the Church.

God wants the church to be a strong, healthy, community.

Paul is consecrated to God 

Vow: Holiness as denial or holiness as the voluntary expression of love

Galatians 2:20 

Paul is confident in God 

God’s will is primary, our gifts are secondary 

We need to learn to walk away and say James 4:15

Paul is connected to the church 

Paul is sent by a strong church. 

Paul sacrifices for a strong church.

Conclusion: How can you respond to God in this season?
