Helping One Another

 Job 13-14; Acts 17-18 

“When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.”

Acts 18:26

Priscilla and Aquila were lay people who were tentmakers and close friends of Paul. Their confidence and boldness of faith gave them the freedom to challenge a gifted teacher like Apollos, and “explain the way of God more adequately” to him. Apollos knew the baptism of John, a baptism of repentance, but he probably didn’t know the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The truth of Scripture gives us God’s ways and the path to live and walk. The power of the Holy Spirit enables us to walk that path of truth, in God’s strength. We can know truth, but in ourselves, lack the power to follow and obey. Our homes can be great places of ministry as we learn from one another how to follow the way of God more adequately.

“Lord Jesus, thank you for the ‘Aquilas’ and ‘Priscillas’ in my life who have helped me follow the way of God more adequately.”
