In our message today: a man named Apollos came to the city of Ephesus to teach others about Jesus BUT he was missing important information!
Acts 18:24-26 says: Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John. 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.

• Apollos came to Ephesus
• He was Jewish
• He was from Alexandria, Egypt, in Africa, a city of great teaching and learning with a world-renowned library of 700,000 books.

We are told that Apollos was smart: “learned, thorough knowledge…he was taught by others, he was passionate, he was a good speaker” but he was missing some information about Jesus & needed to learn more.

Priscilla and Aquila, the friends we met last week, heard Apollos speaking but Apollos was only telling part of the Good News about Jesus – He had an incomplete message!
So Priscilla and Aquila invited Apollos to their house and explained things clearly and accurately about Jesus’ life and ministry! Apollos became an even better speaker and teacher.

I hope you will always be ready to learn and get smarter – just like Apollos did, when he learned the right things about Jesus!
