S – But when some became hardened and would not believe, slandering the Way in front of the crowd, he withdrew from them, taking the disciples, and conducted discussions every day in the lecture hall of Tyrannus

Acts 19:9 CSB

O – Commentary:  After he led the believers out of the synagogue he taught daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. Apparently, Tyrannus made his lecture hall available to traveling teachers. One Greek manuscript adds that the school was available from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. when most people would have their noon meal and an afternoon “siesta.” This tradition is probably correct. The rest of each day Paul worked with his own hands (20:34)

“Acts,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – When the call to share is so strong, you will leave what is comfortable (Synagogue, position in church) to do what is uncomfortable (lecture, support yourself).

R – Lord, I want to continue to learn what it means to be comfortable being uncomfortable.  Do not let me rest in my role or position.  I want people to know you as their Lord and Savior.  I want people to grow in that relationship.
