1. Acts 18:24-25
Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native
of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a
learned man, with a thorough knowledge
of the Scriptures. He had been instructed
in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with
great fervor and taught about Jesus
accurately, though he only knew the
baptism of John.

2. Acts 18:26
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue.
When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they
invited him to their home and explained to
him the way of God more adequately.

3. Acts 18:27-28
When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia, the
brothers encouraged him and wrote to the
disciples there to welcome him. On
arriving, he was a great help to those who
by grace had believed. For he vigorously
refuted the Jews in public debate, proving
from the Scriptures that Jesus was the
Christ.

4. Too many have hidden
behind lack of understanding
as an EXCUSE not to study
rather than MOTIVATION…
Personal study and learning from others
should be happening SIMALTANEOUSLY.
Apollos knew his STUFF; however, that didn’t
mean that there wasn’t more STUFF to
know.
5. …PERSONAL study
combined with LEARNING
from others propels us
forward in understanding
Discipleship is nothing more than finding
someone who is a STEP or TWO ahead of
you and being willing to learn from them.
Our GROWTH is not simply for OURSELVES
6. The goal is not simply
KNOWING more but
APPLYING better to life…
Learning is moving beyond, ‘well, this is
what I THINK, or how I FEEL, or my OPINION
on the matter, to this is what God has SAID
about it.
You do not need to understand EVERYTHING
to comprehend SOMETHING to build up
your foundation.
