Fellowship Presbyterian Church

This passage gives us a glimpse into Paul's methodology of missionary preaching. He preached Christ in the synagogues, presenting the truth of God. That truth brings about one of two responses in the heart of mankind. When confronted with the Gospel there is the reaction of the faithful and then the world. The world rejects the Gospel while the faithful believe it. But the rejection of the Gospel does not foil God's plans. God uses even the attacks of the enemy to spread and grow his church. Christ's church is in his hand, and therefore will conquer and reign with him.
