Acts 18:24-28

Was there one person who invested time and energy on you cultivating your faith life?  Most of us can probably point to a person who made this sort of difference for us.  There have been a couple of people in my life who filled this role, patiently guiding and teaching me.

The lesson for today is about Priscilla and Aquila, whom we were introduced to earlier in this chapter, taking Apollos under their wings.  They heard this new believer speak and wanted to help him learn the whole story so he could be more effective for Jesus.


Acts 18:26 (NIV)
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.




The Christians who took time to help me understand God, revealed by example, how exciting it is to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Likewise, Priscilla and Aquila walked alongside Apollos, teaching him that there was more to his faith than repentance.  They unfolded the the rest of the story about Jesus and the salvation He presented to the world.  They taught Apollos about the Holy Spirit and thus enabled him to tell others, just as we are to do.  Is there someone you are mentoring?
