ACTS LESSON 20 (8) (November 27) •Acts 18:23-19:41 • Reasoning and Persuading About the Kingdom of God 1.Using Acts 18:24-25, how would you describe Apollos in your own words? 2.“He spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John” (18:25). What does Luke want us to understand about Apollos’ grasp of the gospel? 3.If Apollos was fervent in spirit, eloquent in speech, and sincere in what he was teaching, why not just leave him alone and allow him to continue doing what he was doing uninterrupted? 4.Is there anything we can learn from Aquila and Priscilla in Acts 18:26? How can our own efforts to guide, correct, and refine the understanding of others be shaped by their approach? 5.Having carefully read Acts 19:1-7, what does Luke want us to understand about the twelve disciples Paul found in Ephesus? 6.Once again, what do we learn about the Holy Spirit, miraculous gifts, and how they were imparted in Acts 19:6? 7.What should readers ancient and modern take away from Luke’s account of the itinerant Jew is hexorcists in Acts 19:11-17? 8.Why would the new believers described in Acts 19:18-19 do what they did? 9.Why was Demetrius so concerned about Paul and his persuasive message (19:23-27)? 10.What does this riot that erupted in Ephesus teach us about the nature of the gospel?
