About this sermon

"Paul didn't just win converts — he made disciples. Evangelism births believers, but teaching the Word grows them to maturity. The church exists to equip the saints for works of service. Are you being built up, or just born again? Acts 18:23" 0:00 - 5:47 Launching the 3rd Missionary Journey 5:47 - 17:53 Discipleship Over Evangelism 17:53 - 38:10 Apollos: Gifted but Incomplete 38:10 - 67:22 Role of Women in Teaching Chapter 1: We pick up in Acts 18:23 as Paul begins his third missionary journey, departing from Antioch for the last time and traveling through Galatia and Phrygia. Chapter 2: Paul's deliberate retracing of his steps to strengthen existing believers reveals a ministry philosophy centered on making disciples, not just converts. Chapter 3: We are introduced to Apollos, a brilliantly gifted and fervent Jewish teacher from Alexandria who was speaking accurately about Jesus but with significant gaps in his theological understanding. Chapter 4: Priscilla and Aquila take Apollos aside and fill in his theological gaps, and their example opens a balanced discussion on the appropriate role of women in teaching ministry.
