Acts 18 Part 2

The WHOLE Truth

August 16, 2023 • Pastor Spencer Fusselman

 Priscilla and Aquila take Apollos aside to correct him. As 2nd Timothy 3:16 tells us, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,” Apollos had an incomplete understanding of the scriptures concerning Christ, and rather than rebuke openly they pull him aside and rebuke with love from the scriptures! The value of this approach is lost in today's generation of the ‘church’. Also, observe the humility of Apollos to accept such a rebuke. Do we often have that humility? Maybe a better question to ask is: Do we have total reverence for the Word of God as the supreme authority in our lives? 



Confidence in the Spirit

Paul's confidence was his faith. In Acts 23 Jesus told him he must be a witness in Rome. He was sure at that point that this storm and shipwreck would not be his demise. He was confident that the God that set him on this mission would provide a way for him to complete it. Even if he didn’t know what the next step would be, or all the details, he trusted that God had a plan. And that plan would be ministering to the people of Malta in the midst of his own crisis. The story of Acts does not end here. The spirit still lives on and works through God’s people. Where do you see the spirit working in your life?

Almost Dangerous

October 31, 2023 • Pastor Spencer Fusselman

Paul's belief in the fact that God can, has, and WILL raise the dead, is the source of his boldness. In our lives when we are called to be as bold we ‘Almost’ get there. We narrowly miss the mark because too often we forget that God can raise the dead! Instead, we say “People don't change” and go on living in our own ‘Christian’ bubble separate from the world where we are safe, but we make no real impact. Paul's life was anything but safe, and as a result, he left a HUGE impact on the kingdom.
