Acquila and Priscilla How To Make Your Marriage Work (For the Lord)

They Worked Together Acquila and Priscilla are always mentioned together. – Acts 18:2, 18, 26 – Romans 16:3 – 1 Corinthians 16:19 – 2 Timothy 4:19 They were of the same mind when it came to making their marriage work for the cause of Christ.

They Practiced Hospitality Paul stayed with them for a year and a half (Acts 18:1-3, 11). – Both parties benefitted from this arrangement. The church met in their house on two different occasions: – Ephesus (1 Cor. 16:19, 8) – Rome (Rom. 16:3-5)

The Christian and Hospitality Christians are to be given to hospitality (Rom. 12:13) and are to hospitable without grumbling (1 Pet. 4:9). Hospitality helps the members of the church to grow closer together. Hospitality provides opportunities to introduce people to the gospel.

They Supported Preachers and Preaching They helped Paul – Acts 18:1-3, 18-19; Rom. 16:3-4 They helped Apollos – Acts 18:24-28

They Were Evangelistically Opportunistic They put themselves in situations where they would come into contact with those who would be interested in the gospel. They took advantage of opportunities.
