From time to time, local churches – as well as denominations – plan large scale outreach events. The Billy Graham Crusade in Sydney in 1959 is one of the best examples seen by many of us. In 2009, the Anglican churches in Sydney aim to offer a Bible (in one format or another) to every Sydney-sider.

All this is wonderful. But sometimes we may feel that the results are all up to us. This can lead to all sorts of bad things – including the temptation to try to manipulate people into making some kind of “decision for Christ”. The truth is far more wonderful. 

Acts 18 is a powerful reminder that the results of evangelism (and therefore the methods we must use) are God’s work – and his alone.

We invite you to join us on Sunday morning at 8:00 and 9:30am as we hear the message that Paul heard as he preached the gospel in Corinth in the midst of opposition.
