Perseverance in the Face of Opposition

Divine Protection for Gospel Advancement God's promise of protection to Paul underscores the Lord's commitment to see His mission accomplished

The Power of Persistence in Ministry

Long-Term Ministry Impact Paul's extended stay in Corinth (18 months) shows the value of persistent, long-term ministry in a challenging environment
