Priscilla and Aquila

On the past two Sundays I've been preaching from Acts 18.  Last Sunday the focus was on Priscilla and Aquila, from the second half of the chapter.  Paul slips out of the picture as he leaves Corinth and Ephesus, but we get the clear picture of the Gospel strategy of leaving Priscilla and Aquila behind as the new leaders of the church in Ephesus.  As if that weren't enough, we then get the dynamic duo taking Apollos under their wing and instructing him in the way of the Lord 'more adequately'.  So it's really 2 Timothy 2:2 in action in Acts.
The question the passage poses is, 'How does the Gospel grow?'
The answer it supplies:

  1. by Gospel teamwork; and
  2. by Gospel teaching.  

In particular, by Gospel teaching that is accurate (v25) and adequate (v26).
The good folks at St Mark's have made the sermon available here.  Do let me know what you think!  While you're at it, I'd also like to know what you'd like to see here on the blog.  Happy to serve!
