Make Me Like Them- Being Teachable, Discipling Others, and Furthering the Gospel

This powerful message from Acts 18:24-28 challenges us to examine three critical aspects of our spiritual walk through the lives of Apollos, Priscilla and Aquila, and the early church. We're invited to embody Apollos' teachability—a man who was eloquent and knowledgeable yet remained hungry to learn more about God. Despite his education and speaking ability, he didn't let pride prevent him from receiving correction and growing in his understanding of Christ. This passage confronts our tendency to become complacent in our faith journey, reminding us that no matter how long we've been Christians, we must maintain that burning curiosity for Scripture and passion for Jesus. The call to be like Priscilla and Aquila emphasizes the non-negotiable nature of discipleship in the Christian life. These tentmakers didn't use their 'ordinary' status as an excuse—they saw someone with potential and invested in him privately, graciously, and scripturally. Finally, we see the church's willingness to send Apollos out, even when it meant losing a valuable member of their community. They prioritized the advancement of the gospel over their own comfort and convenience. This message asks us the uncomfortable question: Are we willing to be teachable, to disciple others, and to do whatever it takes—even when it disrupts our comfortable routines—so that more people can hear about Jesus?
