Bible Study Outline for Wednesday, 25th July, 2018, led by the Church pastor, Rev. Kayode Oke

TOPIC: PRISCILLA AND AQUILA: A MODEL FOR CHRISTIAN HOMES.
TEXT:   ACTS 18: 1 – 3, 24-26; ROMANS 16:3-5
CHALLENGE: Some fail in marriage, others excel. Choose to emulate the winners.

INTRODUCTION
One beautiful thing about the Bible is that it presents a variety of human activities, the great, the good, the bad and the ugly, and all are stated because they are “useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Tim. 3:16) On Sunday, we considered Ahab and Jezebel, a bad example in marriage, but today we look at Priscilla and Aquila, a worthy model.

LESSON
Priscilla and Aquila, indeed a worthy model for Christian marriages:-
1.      IN ONENESS. This is a couple that never got a single mention separately. They were united on all fronts so much so that the writers could not think of one without the other.
2.      IN INDUSTRY. Both were tent makers. United even in matters concerning money. Are you?
3.      IN HOSPITALITY. For these people, their home was a place of ministry; they housed Paul, brought Apollos home and even had a church meeting in their house. To them, their house was a house of God.
4.      IN MINISTRY. See 18:26. Apollos was an orator and a zealous for the Lord. Note. This couple did not argue with him but humbly listened to him, they found Apollos to speak accurately but they endeavored to fill in the inadequacies in his message. So they were both humble, loving and Godly  

QUESTIONS
a.       What, in your opinion is the number one source of problem in homes today?
b.      Why is hospitality a challenge to many homes today?
c.       In some instances, the spiritual level of the husband and wife varies greatly, making it difficult for them to do ministry successfully together. What is the solution to this?
d.      Any other question?

CONCLUSION
The institution of marriage came to be by divine design and is very important to life; therefore, do all you should to make your own marriage work.

TEXT:   LUKE 2:11-14, MATTHEW 2:13-16 Luke 2:11-14 (NIV) 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

Today’s teaching was titled; MANIFESTING GOD'S GLORY BY RAISING CHAMPIONS Text; Genesis 18:1-19 When God gives you a family, He's giving you an assignment, and this assignment is raising champions.
