A day in Corinth

Here is the judgement seat or tribunal where Paul would have been taken to stand before Gallio (Acts 18:12-18). Gallio saw no reason to press charges and Paul was released.

Here we saw the inscription of a road built by Erastus, the city treasurer of Corinth from the time of Paul. The authenticity of Acts was questioned over the years because many said the names and facts mentioned were not historical. This inscription uncovered in the 1920's includes the name of Erastus, his position and the year. Three pieces of evidence of his generous contribution to personally finance the road!

Jim reading to the group from Corinthians and explaining Paul's arguments for eating or not eating  meat. As he spoke, we looked at the Temple to Apollos where all the meat would have been sacrificed.

Lisa Walker, Susan Jackson and Robin Manes look at a first-century mirror which would have been polished bronze. As Pau says in 1 Corinthians 13 we see in a mirror dimly...but one day we will see face to face.

First century clay pots. As Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4...we carry this incredible treasure in earthen pots. Though at times we may be pressed down or perplexed or afflicted, we are never crushed or destroyed!
