About this listen

 I created this podcast – to attempt to retell some of my favourite Bible stories in a way that might help us to hear them as their first listeners would have done so. Such a retelling may not help us to know exactly what happened, but I hope it might help us to delve into those truths that they were trying to communicate.Copyright 2017 . All rights reserved.

  • 10.4 Who Was Sosthenes?

    10.4 Who Was Sosthenes?
    Feb 18 2026

    The Book of Acts tells a wild story about what happened while Paul was in Corinth, and it involved a guy named Sosthenes. Later, Paul wrote a letter to the church in Corinth with a guy named Sosthenes .

    Coincidence? Maybe.

    Or maybe the writer of the Book of Acts was trying to get a message across with the story he wrote.

    Based on Acts 18:1-18 and 1 Corinthian 1:1-17.
