Apollos: Teachability and Discipleship in the Word
Explore how Apollos’s eloquence and openness to truth teach us to grow in discipleship with humility and power.
📖 Introduction
When we think of powerful teachers in the Bible, Apollos stands out as a shining example of eloquence combined with teachability. Known for his passionate speaking and firm knowledge of Scripture, Apollos was a man whose influence grew when he remained open to deeper truth and mentorship.
In Acts 18, we find Apollos expertly teaching and clarifying the Scriptures, yet so much of his power came after he was lovingly taught by Priscilla and Aquila. This teaches us an important lesson: while natural ability and eloquence can draw attention, it is teachability and humility that refine our understanding and effectiveness.
Throughout this 3-day study, we’ll explore how Apollos’s journey challenges us to embrace discipleship fully — to seek truth eagerly, accept correction gracefully, and use our God-given gifts to build others up. You’ll be encouraged to reflect on how eloquence paired with truth guides your walk with God, making your witness stronger and more effective.
Whether you’re a gifted speaker, a careful student, or simply someone seeking growth, Apollos’s story shows that spiritual maturity is a process of continual learning and openness. May this plan inspire and equip you to grow in your relationship with God and in your ability to share His Word faithfully.
