Mission happens not in spite of the mess, but in the middle of the mess. Whether you've been a Christian for many years, or you are a brand new believer, you know that mission is messy. In Acts 18:1-17 we see the real-life mess that Paul was in - traveling, marriages, political persecution, racial tensions, relocation, loss, new friends, starting over, housing, schools, hard work, business partnership, planning, marketing, budgets, coordinated attacks, increased resistance, courts, lawsuits, false charges, reputation and character assassination... All this while sowing seeds for a spiritual harvest. So what's Paul trying to tell us? - Saying yes to God in the mess is what turns the mess into mission and the Kingdom of God steadily advances through a series of decisive victories cleverly disguised as defeats.
