How We Grow Up in Christ - B
November 23, 2018
Paul hears a message from a man named Apollos, who is a well educated Jew, and a gifted speaker. His message, however, was only a call to repent from the teachings of John The Baptist. It wasn’t insincere, or even inaccurate, it was just incomplete. There was no cross, no resurrection and no power of the Holy Spirit.

Daze Of Deception
Jesus warned that deception would grow worse as we draw nearer to the end times, saying, “Take heed that no one deceives you” (Matthew 24:4). Distinguishing truth from error has become increasingly challenging—even in the church. We live in a time when falsehoods assault us from every direction. Packaged with just enough truth to make them appear trustworthy, these counterfeits have grown more and more difficult to detect and avoid. Living in the Daze of Deception explores the many ways error is masquerading as truth—and you’ll learn how you can discern the difference.

One sign of being a Christian is spiritual growth. And the way we grow in Christ is by staying in God’s Word, and continuing His work. But, often times it takes a renewed focus for the ministry to expand, and for church growth to be possible.

We need to persevere in our faith because just like Paul, we are all prone to discouragement. But, opposition can also bring opportunities. If things always go our way, we’ll never appreciate God’s blessings, and the comfort He brings during difficult times.

When Paul reached the city of Corinth, God gave him a vision to not be afraid, but to keep preaching. Many were against Paul’s teachings, and this discouraged him. So, God also sent fellow servants and faithful friends to be with him, including Silas and Timothy, and Priscilla and Aquila, who were fellow tent makers.

Thinking there are no absolutes in life is a dangerous way to live. The people of Athens were very sincere about worshipping their mini Gods. So, Paul gently points out that sincerity is not an indicator of the truth. He also tells them that there’s only one God, and He is available to all, and the Savior for all.

Paul found an altar in Athens with an inscription that read, “To The Unknown God”. So, he speaks to the crowd that this unknown god is the one who made the world and everything in it. He also told them that life isn’t all about pleasure or amusement, or about being self-sufficient. It’s in God that we’ll find lasting joy.

There’s a fullness of joy in serving God. And, we’re to test the scriptures, to see if Christ’s message isn’t true. God will use us when we’ve discovered for ourselves the answer for the joy and the hope that is within us.

We, as believers, have a tendency to hold back when facing opposition to our faith. But, just like in Paul's’ day, it’s not the time to be neutral or passive when it comes to sharing the Gospel. Instead, it’s time to be bold and courageous when eternity is at stake for those who don’t know Christ.

Paul’s focus was on saving the captain of the jail. And, when this hardcore jailer is converted to Christ by Paul, he invites them to his house, where he dresses their wounds, and where he, and all his family believe in God, and are baptized.
