A HOUSE CHURCH ON THE MISSION FIELD

Date : Jan 01, 2000
Passage : Acts 18:18~28
Keyverse : 26


1. Paul's third journey begins (18-23)

When Paul sailed from Corinth to complete his second journey, he took Priscilla and Aquila with him. He made a vow in Cenchrea, then visited Ephesus briefly. He left this missionary couple there to begin pioneer work, and sailed for home--Syrian Antioch-- via Jerusalem. After spending some time in Antioch he set out overland on his third journey. He visited and encouraged disciples in the churches he had previously pioneered. His destination was Ephesus.

2. Priscilla, Aquila and Apollos (24-28)

In the meantime, an able preacher named Apollos had come to Ephesus. He was a Bible scholar. He knew Jesus intellectually, but he did not know him personally. Priscilla and Aquila invited him to their home and taught him the Bible. They led him to Jesus, and the Holy Spirit worked in his heart. He became an effective Bible teacher, and a help to the believers in Ephesus, and later, in Corinth.
