“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will
exalt you.” James 4:10, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear Saints,
Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in
Acts Chapter 18; “Paul at Corinth, with Aquila and Priscilla. (1-6) He
continues to preach at Corinth. (7-11) Paul
before Gallio. (12-17) He
visits Jerusalem. (18-23) Apollos
teaches at Ephesus and in Achaia. (24-28)”
- Matthew Henry
Concise.
Paul is staying in Corinth, with fellow tent
makers Aquila and Priscilla. Paul trusts God and continues to preach at
Corinth. Paul went before Gallio, who was indifferent to the gospel, didn’t
consider Paul’s actions to be serious enough for punishment. He returns to
Antioch, continuing to build the believers faith. Apollos teaches at Ephesus
and in Achaia. “24 Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to
Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures. 25 He had been
instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and
taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the
baptism of John. 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when
Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the
way of God more accurately. 27 And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the
brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he
arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, 28 for he
powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the
Christ was Jesus.” Acts
18:24-28, ESV. Priscilla and Aquila heard Apollos he was telling people to
believe in Jesus. He
only knew the baptism of John, rather than disagreeing with him they took him
aside and and taught him. The lesson here is rather than causing a roe
because you don’t agree with a saint, reason with them in private.
Encouraging the saint in the love of Jesus. “and assembling all the chief
priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was
to be born. They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by
the prophet: “‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means
least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will
shepherd my people Israel.’”” Matthew
2:4-6, ESV. Jesus is the
Savior of all persons. Encourage people in his love! Keep the first thing
first, that is salvation paid for, in full by our Lord Jesus Christ. If the Lord is
willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow
You’ll find the praise and prayer list at; admenu.com/prayer.html. Prayer request or Praise reports can be
sent to brother Mike at; mike@admenu.com
Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. Our
salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed
his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will
come to get every Saint; “36 “But concerning that day and
hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father
only.” Matthew 24:36, ESV. We are
building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to
change anything. Click this link for
