In Acts 18, we see the Apostle Paul arrive in Corinth, partner with Priscilla and Aquila, and boldly proclaim the gospel despite opposition. God speaks to Paul in a vision, reminding him: “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking, for I am with you.”This chapter reminds us that God strengthens His people in times of weakness, raises up faithful partners in ministry, and advances the gospel even in difficult places.Main scripture: Acts 18:1-4, 7-8; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Peter 2:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20; Psalm 23
In this week's sermon from the series "To Be Continued," we explore Acts 18, where Paul transitions from Athens to the vibrant city of Corinth. Despite facing opposition and personal struggles, Paul finds strength through faithful partners like Aquila and Priscilla, the assurance of God's presence, and a teachable heart. Discover how these elements helped Paul persevere in his mission and how they can empower us to keep going and growing in our faith journey. Join us as we delve into the importance of community, trust in God, and openness to growth in our walk with Christ.

Title: Compassion, Service, and FaithSpeaker: Pastor Jeremy ArcherDate: 26th November 2023Location: Bristol, UK In this episode, the message begins with Proverbs 18:16, reflecting on the gift of giving time to God. Just as gifts open doors before kings, dedicating time and effort to the Lord creates space for His blessings in our lives. The talk explores Acts 2, showing how the early church grew through simple foundations—teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. Revival came not from campaigns but from steadfast faith and countless small acts of kindness that supported the new believers. Drawing from Romans 16 and 3 John, the speaker highlights people like Phoebe, Priscilla, Aquila, and Gaius—ordinary believers remembered for their service. The call is clear: to be fellow helpers, fellow labourers, and true yoke-fellows, giving more than we take, and working together in the shared body of Christ. 3 Key Takeaways: Fellowship is vital, but being a fellow helper means actively serving others. Revival comes through doing the basics: teaching, fellowship, prayer, and kindness. Giving time and service to God opens the way for His blessing and purpose.

Have you ever noticed how the right people at the right time can shape your faith journey? In Acts 18 we see Apollos, a gifted teacher who spoke boldly about Jesus, but still had more to learn. God brought Priscilla and Aquila alongside him, reminding us that we are never meant to grow alone.The message of Christ never changes, but how we live it out is strengthened when we walk together. Encouragement, correction, and support are not signs of weakness but of God's design for community. Apollos also shows us the value of being teachable. He didn't let pride keep him from growing, and because of his openness, God expanded his impact in powerful ways. The same is true for us. When we stay humble, connected, and ready for opportunities, God will use our lives to shine His truth wherever we go.Subscribe to Our Channel! New to LifeRock?

Tuesday September 2, 2025XII Week After PentecostIn today's episode, we see three powerful movements of faith and revelation. David pours out a heartfelt prayer of gratitude, humbled by God's promise to establish his house forever (2 Samuel 7:18-29). In Acts, Paul faces opposition yet the gospel continues to advance through bold preaching and the faithful encouragement of Aquila, Priscilla, and Apollos (Acts 18:12-28). And in Mark, Jesus heals a blind man in stages and then confronts His disciples with the question that still echoes today: *“Who do you say I am?” (Mark 8:22-33).

8. CompelApollos did not preach solely to dispense information. He passionately proclaimed the truth in order to convince his hearers and convert them to the way of God's truth:Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures. He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus. (Acts 18:24–28)9. DisciplePaul understood the continuing and cumulative effect of multiplication; so he heartily commended it to Timothy, the third of five generations up to that time (Christ, Paul, Timothy, faithful men, and others):And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. (2 Tim. 2:2)10.TrembleIsaiah exemplified a humble believer who took God and his word very seriously (see Isa. 6:1–13):But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word. (Isa. 66:2)This article is adapted from Biblical Doctrine: A Systematic Summary of Biblical Truth edited by John MacArthur and Richard Mayhue.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

This week, Pastor Suzy Silk continued our Summer sermon series, The Fifth Act, with a sermon on Acts 18 and the ministry of Priscilla and Aquila in the Early Church. By studying their twenty year ministry journey with Paul and other disciples, God shows us that we are not meant to do life or ministry alone. We must ask God to help us be fruitful disciples that lay down our lives to see Him glorified, and faithfully carry the Gospel wherever we go.
Paul arrived in Corinth exhausted, bruised, and alone after a difficult stretch of ministry. Yet God met him through and unexpected friendship of Aquila and Priscilla, reminding us that God shows up and grows the church through relationships. Pastor Josh explores how intentional, Spirit-led relationships can bring healing, courage, and the hope of Christ in the midst of lifes messiness. https://churchlinkfeeds.blob.core.windows.net/notes/46163/note-237083.html
If you watch the stars on a dark night, it’s easy to think of the sky as a great dome. But as the night goes on, the dome rotates. New stars rise in the east, while others disappear in the west. So ancient skywatchers thought of the sky not as a dome, but a sphere that completely encircles us – the celestial sphere. To the Greeks, the sphere was real – a perfect crystalline surface, with the stars hanging from it like lanterns. Earth stood still at the middle of the sphere, which turned around it. Today, of course, we know that Earth is turning, and the stars are so far away that they appear to be fixed in place. Yet astronomers still use the celestial sphere. Their coordinate system is based on it. The system has lines of latitude and longitude, an equator, and north and south poles – all of which are projections of Earth’s coordinates. The celestial poles, for example, are based on the projection of Earth’s poles – the directions in which our planet’s axis is pointing. There’s also a celestial equator – an extension of Earth’s equator. As darkness falls tonight, it arcs from Aquarius, in the east; through Aquila, in the south; and down to Virgo, in the west. Only those who live near the equator can see the entire celestial sphere. For everyone else, it’s clipped. And at the poles, only half of the sphere is ever visible – a great dome showing the same stars all year long. Script by Damond Benningfield
In this episode of the Broadband Bunch, host Pete Pizzutillo sits down with Ronan Kelly, Managing Director of AllPoints Fibre Networks in the UK. Ronan shares his 30-year journey through the broadband industry—from the early days of dial-up with U.S. Robotics to leading innovative fiber deployments across Europe. The conversation explores the consolidation of UK alt-nets, the creation of AllPoints Fibre's wholesale-only model, and the launch of their new Aquila platform, designed to provide a marketplace for ISPs and streamline integration through standards-based APIs. Ronan highlights the challenges of scaling fiber networks, managing technical debt, and why automation and vendor-backed solutions are critical for long-term sustainability. Looking ahead, Ronan offers insights on the role of AI in telecom operations, the importance of embracing change, and how UK market lessons could apply to the U.S. broadband landscape. His reflections on legacy, leadership, and building resilient infrastructure provide valuable takeaways for operators, technologists, and policymakers alike.

Flying Saucers, Unidentified Flying Objects, Unidentified Anomalous Objects, Foo Fighters, Ghost Rockets, Phantom Airships, Chariots of the Gods whatever you call them strange things have haunted our skies since the dawn of time. Are they invaders from outer space as imagined in Hollywood movies? Are they the product of psychological, sociological, and cultural factors? Are they nonterrestrial intelligences who are intimately linked to humanity? Instead of wrestling with theories and speculation, Nigel Watson speaks directly with ‘ordinary' people in the United Kingdom who have reported seeing UFOs and a wide range of startling associated phenomena, that in the past were considered by UFO investigators as too farfetched or ‘crazy.'His decadeslong research shows how UFO encounters can often escalate from simple sightings of lights in the sky to sightings of alien entities, robots, men in black, and angelic beings. UFO witnesses and experiencers can also be plagued by a lifechanging poltergeist or other ghostly experiences, telepathic messages, alien communications, strange coincidences, visions of the future, and abductions. Many of the stories might seem like science fiction or the very stuff of nightmares, yet they are told by people of different age groups, social backgrounds, and locations.

ALTARS NOT PLATFORMS Stewards of the Kingdom 8.10.25 We live in a world that craves a platform, but the gospel of Jesus Christ calls us to an altar. Clearing By Martha Postlethwaite Do not try to save the whole world or do anything grandiose. Instead, create a clearing in the dense forest of your life and wait there patiently, until the song that is your life falls into your own cupped hands and you recognize and greet it. Only then will you know how to give yourself to this world so worthy of rescue. Romans 16:3–5 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in Christ Jesus. 4 They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them. Greet also the church that meets at their house. 2 Timothy 4:19 Greet Priscilla and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus. The Marks of Kingdom Stewards (from the life of Priscilla and Aquila) Radical hospitality Faithful partnership Quiet influence Sacrificial living Open-handed generosity Kingdom stewardship Kingdom stewardship is living in full submission to King Jesus, faithfully managing everything He has entrusted to us so that His purposes are fulfilled through our lives. Being good stewards in the kingdom of God: Jesus is the King. The King establishes how His people live. We can choose to accept or reject His rule. To follow His way is to live in His kingdom. To reject His way is to live outside His kingdom. As stewards, we carry His rule (kingdom) into every sphere of life. Why did Jesus talk about money and stewardship so much? Because money reveals the heart Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Because the love of money is a major stronghold 1 Timothy 6:6-10 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Basics of Kingdom Stewardship: Everything belongs to God. I'm a temporary manager of what He's entrusted to me. One day, I will give an account. Extravagant Generosity: when you become so overcome by grace and undeserved love, you lavishly reorient your life around giving and Kingdom impact
Ministry was never meant to be a solo mission. In Acts 18, Paul's partnerships with friends like Aquila, Priscilla, Silas, and Timothy show how teamwork strengthens the gospel's reach, deepens unity, and reflects the character of Jesus.
Series: First Love Living | Restructuring Authority | August 10, 2025Before Ephesus lost their first love – they HAD a small but mighty church that was changing the world. Ephesus was the gateway between Asia & Europe, along with being the guardian of the temple of Artemus (Diana – Wonder woman!), and hosted one of the greatest libraries of the First Century. It was a city that had a higher percentage of literate people than almost every other city in the world. It garnered wealth and influence and shared it through the thousands who passed through. And even though the Christian community was small, it celebrated some of the greatest leaders and teachers of the new Christian era – Paul, Timothy, the Apostle John, Priscilla & Aquila, Apollos, and more! Of all the churches of the first century, it's the church MANY of us pastors & leaders aspire to become. This summer, we'll dig into the Scriptures regarding Ephesus, and especially the letter Paul wrote to it, gleaning from the story how to grow and keep a “First Love Life” with God.

Altars, Not Platforms The Ministry of the Ordinary 8.3.25 God isn't asking you to be famous, he's asking you to be faithful. God isn't calling you to build a platform, he's calling you to surrender. Acts 18:1-3 After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. 2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, 3 and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them. Acts 18:18-19 Paul stayed on in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sisters and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. Before he sailed, he had his hair cut off at Cenchreae because of a vow he had taken. 19 They arrived at Ephesus, where Paul left Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. Acts 18:24-26 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. God's kingdom moves forward when ordinary, everyday people surrender what they have to God through the power of the Holy Spirit. Acts 4:13 When they (the Jewish rulers, elders, & teachers of the law) saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. Philippians 3:7-11 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. Philippians 3:10-11 (New Revised American Dream Version) I want to know Christ – yes, but not so much that it interrupts my current life or plans. I want to participate in the sufferings of Christ, but I would like those sufferings to be limited to things I can fully manage and comprehend. And yes, I would like to become like Christ in his death, but I would prefer to experience resurrection without crucifixion if possible. Perhaps the greatest deception of our generation is the belief that we can experience deep purpose and lasting joy without sacrifice and dying to ourselves first.
Priscilla and Aquila had an extraordinary impact for the sake of the Gospel, through their ordinary lives. From Priscilla and Aquila, we can learn to minister together, with truth and grace, using the knowledge we have of the Gospel, where we live, work, study, and play.

Begoña Santos ha estado en el 24 Horas de RNE con Lalo Tovar presentando su libro Mujeres que mueven montañas: "He querido recoger historias de ocho mujeres reales en las que existe una montaña física -Himalaya, Pirineos, Kilimanjaro- y luego existen unas montañas metafóricas, retos", dice Santos. "Trato de contar la naturaleza humana y lo que más me interesa es cómo ellas se sentían", confiesa. Entre las protagonistas está Aquila, una alpinista e ingeniera química de Afganistán, que fue sepultada por los talibanes y finalmente logro salir de Kabul y llegar a España. La autora también cuenta la historia de Lady Lister, que tiene lugar en el 1832. Ella nunca se casó con un hombre y se juntó con mujeres en un momento en el que la homosexualidad no estaba bien vista. "La montaña tiene algo que atrae, esa sensación de sentirse pequeñito en ese contexto de belleza", admite la autora del libro.Escuchar audio

Romans Series: In Romans 16:1–16, Paul concludes his letter by personally commending and greeting a number of believers in the Roman church. He begins by recommending Phoebe, a respected servant of the church, and asks the community to receive her well. He then sends greetings to individuals and households who have labored for the gospel, shown hospitality, or suffered for Christ, such as Priscilla and Aquila, Andronicus and Junia, and many others. This passage reflects the deep love, unity, and diversity within the early Christian community, highlighting both men and women who played vital roles in the life and mission of the Church.

4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 4:9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 4:11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. 4:12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. 4:13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 4:15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. 4:16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. 4:17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 4:19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. 4:20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick. 4:21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. 4:22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
Series: First Love Living | Dressing up in Purity | July 20, 2025Before Ephesus lost their first love – they HAD a small but mighty church that was changing the world. Ephesus was the gateway between Asia & Europe, along with being the guardian of the temple of Artemus (Diana – Wonder woman!), and hosted one of the greatest libraries of the First Century. It was a city that had a higher percentage of literate people than almost every other city in the world. It garnered wealth and influence and shared it through the thousands who passed through. And even though the Christian community was small, it celebrated some of the greatest leaders and teachers of the new Christian era – Paul, Timothy, the Apostle John, Priscilla & Aquila, Apollos, and more! Of all the churches of the first century, it's the church MANY of us pastors & leaders aspire to become. This summer, we'll dig into the Scriptures regarding Ephesus, and especially the letter Paul wrote to it, gleaning from the story how to grow and keep a “First Love Life” with God.
Send us a textActs 18:24-29Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures. He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.Support the show
Send us a textActs 18:18-23After this, Paul stayed many days longer and then took leave of the brothers and set sail for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchreae he had cut his hair, for he was under a vow. And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there, but he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. When they asked him to stay for a longer period, he declined. But on taking leave of them he said, “I will return to you if God wills,” and he set sail from Ephesus.When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch. After spending some time there, he departed and went from one place to the next through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciplesSupport the show
Send us a textActs 18:1-6After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them, and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks.When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”Support the show
He, along with his wife Priscilla, is mentioned in the book of Acts and in St Paul's Epistle to the Romans. He and his wife were Jews who moved to Corinth when the Emperor Claudius expelled all Jews from Italy. They were working as tentmakers in Corinth when they met and worked with St Paul, also a tentmaker by trade, who brought them to faith in Christ. From that time onward they worked diligently to spread the Gospel of Christ. The Prologue says that they died at the hands of pagans, the Great Horologion that the circumstances of their repose are unknown.

Corinth was a city of wealth, power, and moral decay—an unlikely place for a thriving church. In this episode, we explore how Paul planted the church in Corinth during his second missionary journey and why he stayed longer than expected. You'll learn about his partnership with Priscilla and Aquila, the cultural challenges he faced, and the strategic vision behind his ministry.
When institutions crumble and anxiety runs high, most leaders reach for strategy and structure—but that's not how God moves. In this episode, Mark and Dave make the case that tribe is the model—a trust-based, micro-to-macro way of life that reflects how Jesus and the early church scaled in turbulent times.You'll hear why movements never start with platforms, but always with people. If you're serious about lasting impact in a collapsing culture, this conversation will reset your instincts.Covo Multipliers:Join the Signal Group: To connect with others living the co-vocational lifestyle, share wins/challenges, and get early access to event updates: https://forms.gle/TWB6kGRQWdpgbvFu8Participate in the June 28, 2025 Bible Study: Zoom deep dive into the model of Priscilla and Aquila, facilitated by Dave.

Paul stays with them, working as a tentmaker while teaching in the synagogue every Sabbath. Although some oppose him, Paul stays committed, preaching to Jews and Gentiles and guiding many to Christ, including a leader of the synagogue named Crispus. God instructs Paul in a vision to stay in Corinth, promising his protection, and Paul teaches there for eighteen months. Afterward, he travels to Ephesus, where he teaches briefly before completing his journey to Caesarea and Antioch. Meanwhile, Apollos, an eloquent preacher in Ephesus, is taught more accurately about the gospel by Aquila and Priscilla. Apollos goes on to powerfully refute the Jews in defense of Jesus as Christ. Paul's time in Corinth serves as a guide for sharing the gospel today. He reasoned with religious individuals who were misinformed about the truth; some believed, like the synagogue leader, while others resisted. When opposition arose, Paul turned to the Gentiles, sharing the gospel with many who embraced it. God protected and used him in this work. We should engage with believers who lack the full truth, as Priscilla and Aquila later did with Apollos. This is meaningful work for God. However, if they refuse to listen, do not stop teaching about Jesus—focus your efforts on people who have yet to know the Lord. There is always an opportunity and a need to share the truth about Jesus Christ. Benevolent Lord, thank You for providing us with all we need to carry out Your will in this life. Paul found companions such as Priscilla and Aquila, Silas, and Timothy on his journey. Thank You for the faithful workers who have been there to assist us in serving You. Help us to lean on them, learn from them, and be of help to them as we all strive to stand strong for Jesus and share His beloved gospel with the world. Many do not want to listen, and we often feel discouraged. Encourage us to keep working by Your grace. Thought Questions: - The most common instruction in scripture is in today's read, “Do not be afraid” (v9). Why not? Is God with you? How do you know? - Gallio, like many Gentile leaders, had little interest in the gospel. Why is it so difficult for people in power to surrender to Christ? - What does it say about Apollos that he listened to correction and altered his teaching? Is that something you may also have to do?
