July 21 Devotion

Read Acts 18

Aquila and Pricilla was a tent-making couple who made a real difference in spreading the Gospel.  Imagine being forced to leave Rome simply because you were of the wrong nationality.  Then in Corinth that come across a vibrant Jewish missionary preacher who is proclaiming the Jesus as the Messiah. They worked together with Paul in making tents and reaching Jews and Greeks with the Gospel.

When Paul leaves for Corinth, they travel with him.  Paul left them in Ephesus to serve the church there.  When Apollos, a brilliant and talented preacher and leader came through Ephesus, Pricilla and Aquila invited him into their home with hospitality and taught him more about Jesus.  This wonderful had been a real help to Paul and now served to quietly teach a dynamic missionary preacher.  All the while they quietly went about their business of making and mending tents. Instead of growing bitter about being kicked out Rome, they discovered a better life awaited them in furthering the mission of God.
