Empowered Generosity
Through Acts 18:18-28, we discover how the early church operated with intentional gospel strategy—Paul traveling with purpose, Priscilla and Aquila discipling with generosity, and Apollos emerging as a bold voice for Christ. What makes this passage so compelling is how it mirrors our own call to invest in tomorrow's disciples. We see that Paul never moved aimlessly; every journey had kingdom significance. Similarly, when Priscilla and Aquila encountered the gifted but incomplete teacher Apollos, they didn't criticize—they discipled. They pulled him aside privately and filled in the missing pieces of the gospel story. This act of generous investment rippled outward as Apollos became a powerful advocate for Christ. The lesson for us is profound: we never know what God will do through the person we impact today. Our commitment to expand, equip, and send isn't about buildings or budgets—it's about people. It's about creating environments where children encounter God's Word, students meet Christ, and future missionaries are formed. When we invest generously—not just financially, but with our time, presence, and spiritual formation—we participate in raising up leaders we may never see this side of heaven. This is the beauty of kingdom work: we plant seeds for a harvest forty years from now, trusting that our faithful commitment today will multiply far beyond what we can imagine.
