Acts 18:28 - Additional Comments

Now Apollos, from the tutoring he received from Aquila and Priscilla (verse 26), he combined that with his vast knowledge of Scripture, his fervent spirit, and his skilled speaking, to aggressively and persuasively refute arguments against Christ from the Jews.
But note that it was Aquila and Priscilla who enabled Apollos to be in this position. In your life, who has been a Spiritual mentor to you? Who has lifted you up in the faith? Who are you doing that to (2 Tim 2:2)? Remember our main purpose for our lives is to glorify God, to draw close to Him, and to help others do the same. In what ways are you fulfilling God's desires for your life?
How can you as a family be an influence for God?
Apollos soon after left Ephesus and went to Corinth (vs 19:1), in the region of Achaia. He quickly became the verbal champion for Christianity there (see Paul's comments in 1 Cor 4:1,6, and 1 Cor 1:12, 3:4-6, 16:12).
