Summary

This week, Pastor Suzy Silk continued our Summer sermon series, The Fifth Act, with a sermon on Acts 18 and the ministry of Priscilla and Aquila in the Early Church. By studying their twenty year ministry journey with Paul and other disciples, God shows us that we are not meant to do life or ministry alone. We must ask God to help us be fruitful disciples that lay down our lives to see Him glorified, and faithfully carry the Gospel wherever we go.

0:00.0	If you can remain standing for the reading of today's teaching text, today's teaching text is taken from Acts Chapter 18.
0:14.0	Acts Chapter 18 will read from 1 through 4, and then from 18 to 28. After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
0:25.6	There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontius who had recently come from Italy
0:30.1	with his wife, Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see
0:36.0	them, and because he was a tentmaker as they were,
0:38.9	he stayed and worked with them. Avi Sabbath, he reasoned in the synagogue trying to persuade
0:44.0	Jews and Greeks. Verse 18. Paul stayed on in court from some time. Then he left the brothers and
0:50.1	sisters and sailed for Syria accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. Before he sailed, he had
0:55.1	his hair cut off at Sincreya because of the vow he had taken. They arrived at Ephesus,
1:02.0	where Paul left Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
1:07.4	When they asked him to spend more time with them, he declined. But as he left, he promised,
1:11.8	I will come back if it is God's will. Then he set sail from Ephesus. When he landed at
1:16.6	Cessaria, he went out to Jerusalem and greeted the church and then went down to Antioch. After spending
1:22.3	some time in Antioch, Paul set out from there and traveled from place to place throughout the region of
1:27.0	Galatia and Phrygia,
1:29.2	strengthening all the disciples. Meanwhile, a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus.
1:35.8	He was learned man and with thorough knowledge of the scriptures. He had been instructed in the way of the
1:42.2	Lord, and he spoke with great fervor and taught
1:44.6	about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak boldly in the
1:50.7	synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him
1:55.2	the way of God more adequately. When Apollos went to Achaia, the brothers and sisters encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him.
2:03.5	When he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed, for he vigorously refuted his Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah.
