One thing we understand from what he says is these people are playing favorites. Someone shared the gospel with them and they were baptized by that certain person. Paul even shares some of their names! However, Paul tells them they are focused on the wrong person and their division isn’t necessary. They are to be focusing on Jessus, the one who died on the cross and saved them from their sins. He is the most important person and the others are not important at all. focus, eyes, divide, division, conquer, unity, gel, harmony, favorite, cross, Jesus, baptize, baptism The first issue Paul brings up to the church at Corinth is their division.

It is said that we are either about to go through a storm, we are going through a storm, or the storm has passed. It's a nonending cycle that we cannot control and these storms come because of various reasons. We have to be careful of not blaming God or geting mad at Him when they come. We must accept the fact that storms will come and when they do, we have to draw closer to God...not run away. In today's podcast, we look deeper into Jesus beiung led into the wilderness to be tempted right after the mountain top experience of his baptism. mountain, top, experience, baptize, baptism, storm, storms, lightning, rain Why do people feel as if nothing bad should come there way?

They have no place to condemn anyone because of their own sinfulness and just being a Jew will not make them right with God. They had this thought that their sin brought glory to God and Paul is trying to show them otherwise. He then uses the father of the Jews, Abraham, as an example for them to follow.

Why didn't Paul just say, "Well you all believed in Jesus so you're good"? 31:46 no Apollos was telling people about Jesus with enthusiasm but when he would baptize people that wanted to follow Jesus, he would baptize them with the baptism of John the baptizer, a baptism of repentance. Aquila and Priscilla heard Apollos give an invitation call one Sabbath Day in the synagogue and pulled him off to the side and taught him correctly, that he should be baptizing people in the name of Jesus because that was what Jesus taught and He fills people with the Holy Spirit which was lacking under John's baptism. So Apollos goes off to preach in Achaia and Paul arrives back in Ephesus where he finds a group of believers that were probably converted by Apollos because they had been baptized under John's baptism and had never heard of the Holy Spirit. So Paul explains to them about Jesus and that they needed to be baptized in the name of Jesus and be filled with the Holy Spirit...which they gladly did immediately. If baptism isn't important, then why bother? Why didn't Paul just say, "Well you all believed in Jesus so you're good"? Forget how you have been taught and study the word of God on your own.

He was smart, enthusiastic, loved to tell people about Jesus, but he was missing something. Aquila and Priscilla heard him speaking boldly at the synagogue one Sabbath day and pulled him off to the side and asked him about his baptism. He was only familiar with the baptism of John the Baptizer so when he would tell someone about Jesus, he would baptize them under the authority of John’s baptism and not in the name of Jesus. It was a baptism of repentance but it lacked one major thing…the HOLY SPIRIT! So Aquila and Priscilla teach him the word of God more accurately and he heads to Achaia (Corinth) to preach there. That’s where they had just spent a few years living in Corinth so they wrote a letter to the believers asking them to welcome Apollos. Don’t let fear hold you back from serving God. You will make mistakes and that’s ok, but the biggest mistake is doing nothing for the kingdom. We need you in the game! We need you in the fight! Just don’t sit on the sidelines and be a spectator!
