Paul taught the message at the synagogue many times. But the Jews did not want to hear about what Paul had to say about the word. Because of all of this he turned his back on the Jews at the Synagogue and went to preach to the Gentiles. After this Paul went to a man named Justus. He strongly believed in the Lord unlike most of the Jews. When Crispus, the leader of the synagogue heard about this he believed in the Lord. Most of the people in the synagogue were saved. God talked to Paul in a vision and told him to continue preaching the Word. He did this for many months but he was soon accused of preaching falsely.

To start I guess a couple things to realize is that Paul is a tentmaker/leather worker so he still has a job to help support himself and all. The second is that sometimes its easier to talk to those who aren't christians or don't go to church and all. Paul found that the Jews now werent has opening accepting the message as the gentiles where. Just something to keep in mind that no everyone we tell is going to make it easy for us nor is it going to be accept but that is okay. I like that Priscilla and Aquila heard Apollos preaching but all wasn't right or accurate so they took him in and starting to talk to him. This is important on both sides because sometimes it is really had to address someone that knows a lot but not all is quite right and we maybe feel bad for saying something but at the same time its awesome that Apollos was willing (i guess) to listen to them even though he know a lot already and to make the changes. Thats not very easy to do and we need to take note that we can't always thing that we are doing everything right

Paul is still facing difficult times as he preaches the Gospel. But he has boldness to continue and he is confronted by many others mainly the religious Jews. He finally decides it's time to start preaching to the Gentiles.
Paul was very in tune with God. God tells him through a dream to stay in Corinth and Paul stays for a year and a half. That is a challenge for my life too. I want to be in tune with God and not only hear Him but also follow through with what God has for me.

I never knew Paul was a leatherworker interesting. People who have no knowledge of God are more likely to listen to you than someone who does know God because they see how much better life is with God. When we see someone doing or saying something incorrect we do not want to juge them just tell that what is right in a way that shows love.
