APOLLOS POWERFUL IN SCRIPTURE Acts 18:24-28


I come then to Ephesus certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the scriptures, This man was instructed in the way of the Lord, being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him more accurately the way of God.
As he wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When I get there, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
1-APOLLOS, NATURAL OF ALEXANDRIA: He was a Jew from the Egyptian city of Alexandria. Apollos was the Jews dispersed throughout the world, a major city was Alexandria there was in the early years of Christianity the most books, had the largest library in the world. At the time there were Jews living in Christian ALEXANDRIA then soon arrived Christianity.
Matching with this we see the formation and Biblical knowledge and power of this man preacher Apollos.
He had a very good training in the scriptures and open aware of Christ in Israel.
Two-man eloquent and mighty in the scriptures:
Eloquent: lots of insurance capacity in speech, to explain, clarify and with great care, energy motivation, not a cold person but with fervor, life, inspirational, a person passionate love in God and his word,
Such a person would be very useful to the Church. He had great ability to preach the scriptures, we see that could talk and explain and even more, was soaked with knowledge of the scriptures, well trained in them. Just as an athlete who wins. The athlete is prepared, trained rigorously to strengthen his skill, his muscles, his stamina, his physical prowess as well as Apollos Christians must prepare to be very good preachers, Bible reading that much, with prayers and today also hear many sermons, taking all the lessons learned in our Christian lives, all for the better. Experience the life of the Church, and above all, above all have an intimate communion with the God created the universe through faith in His finished work on the cross for us.
POWERFUL IN SCRIPTURE: We speak that God was with him and gave him the Scriptures capacity. We note that by the writings he was a man pouring power of God. Greatly used by God for servants who want to convey their knowledge and His Word.
Living with the Scriptures IN communion with God this is what made him an eloquent man, very useful preacher, he loved the Scriptures and preached with power.
3-He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, being fervent in spirit: He was well educated, as a Jew, and has been instructed in Scripture boy. We remember Timothy instructed by his grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and Paul instructed the feet of Gamaliel, We have a Sunday school where they teach the Bible to children! THIS IS IMPORTANT THAT!! We teach children the scriptures.
Our churches must not only for children but have schoolhouses Youth Bible Institute.
Four-spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus: What good attitude to teach it accurately, neither more nor less, exactly what is written in the scriptures. This is a great lesson for us to rightly divide the word of truth. Second Timothy 2:15 where we are told that diligently seek to present ourselves to God approved, as workers do not have to be ashamed of, we use either the word of truth.
Also today we must be diligent to teach accurately the Scriptures, is a great virtue in the preachers and teachers today must teach of Christ whom the Holy Spirit help us to glorify Him.
5-He began to speak boldly in the synagogue: It was brave, it shrank to the opposition so we must be today, courageous in preaching. We should not cower before this world but we have to go up to them and we have the word of the truth of our living and true God.
6-Y when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him more accurately the way of God, that love is in Priscilla and Aquila, they really helped APOLLOS and humility teach Apollo to let this marriage . That's how we should be humble Christians today, we accept be corrected by the brothers in Christ. And be wise to hear the correction, do not take the correction as a failure but as a springboard to success, advancement.
7-was greatly helped those who through grace had believed: As he traveled to Achaia, says there was a great benefit. So we use our gifts to benefit others.
8-Well vigorously refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ: Fervent to preach Christ, good, whether we like us.
FINDINGS: We have much to learn from this man of God as Apollos, eloquent Being God's word, demands of training, but especially intimate life of communion with Christ. We must be humble and vigorous correction hear the preaching and helping the congregation.
 That these amounts of energy, eloquence and virtue that was in Apollos also be in us, coming from a life of permanent relationship with God.
