PAUL'S ADVENTURES — EPISODE 5: PAUL IN CORINTH Based on Acts 18:1-18 Series: Paul's Adventures | Episode 5 of 10 Target audience: Kids ages 7-15

Okay — Athens was the city of thinkers. But Corinth? Corinth was the city of EVERYTHING. Wealth. Trade. Wild parties. Temples to false gods. Sailors, merchants, and people from every corner of the empire crammed into one booming, chaotic, anything-goes city. If Athens was a university, Corinth was a Vegas strip mall with a seaport.

Most people would look at Corinth and say, "No way God can work HERE." And that's exactly why Paul went.

When Paul arrives, he's alone and probably tired. He just left Athens where the response was... mixed. Now he's walking into one of the roughest cities in the Roman world.

This story comes from Acts and is part of the New Testament.
