Note the Exodus Motif in Acts 18:1-11 --

Jews forced to leave an oppresive ruler and city; tentmakers; gathering (assembly); Sabbath; opposition towards God's word and the true and better Moses; malediction ("your blood be on your own heads"); a new Jepthah (Titius Justus), a devout next-door-to-the-Jews neighbor; whole households passed through the Red Sea of baptism ("water poured down" on them); divine vision and benediction / covenant promises and blessings; the word of God was given and received.

(Acts 18:1-11; Deuteronomy 11:1-5, 8-9; Psalm 77:16-20; 1 Corinthians 1:14-17; 10:1-4; 12:13)

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the most encouraging word in the world. God's faithful presence with his people reaches its zenith in Jesus Christ, God-in-the-flesh.
