Ancora Imparo - I am still learning ...
S.O.A.P.
Scripture – Observation – Application - Prayer
S: Acts 18:23 After staying
there some time, he left and went from place to place in an orderly journey
through the territory of Galatia and Phrygia, establishing the disciples and imparting new strength to them. 24 Meanwhile, there was a Jew named
Apollos, a native of Alexandria, who came to Ephesus. He was a cultured and
eloquent man, well versed and mighty in the Scriptures. 25 He had been
instructed in the way of the Lord, and burning with spiritual zeal, he spoke
and taught diligently and accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he was
acquainted only with the baptism of John.
26 He began to speak freely (fearlessly and boldly) in the
synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him with them and
expounded to him the way of God more definitely and accurately.
O: Which one of us could not use
some “new strength”? Paul and
subsequently Aquila and Priscilla were going about and making the churches more
firm in their teaching. They were giving
people more instruction. Being in
college currently and studying Old and New Testament survey and Christian
doctrine has been an interesting experience.
I have been raised in church all my life and have done a fair amount of
studying over my 40+ years, but about 15 years ago I came to the conclusion that the more I know,
the less I find out I know! Now that I
am in college I am finding there is even more I don’t know! I am like Michelangelo, I too am still learning!
A: To continue to grow in the knowledge of the LORD!
P: Dear Jesus, thank You for times of new
strengthening and for affirming in us Your Word. Thank you that You instruct us in various
ways and through various people. Let us
have the zeal that Apollos had to share the gospel and when we need further
instruction I pray that You would bring godly people along side of us to help
and instruct and strengthen and encourage us. Thank You
for making Your ways known to us.
Through Christ Jesus I pray, Amen & Amen.
