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.

As our month of family matters continued, the Lord spoke to us today through His servant, the under-shepherd, Rev. Kayode Oke. Topic: Ahab and Jezebel: Combination Unwanted Text: 1 Kings 16:26-33 The message was subdivided into 4; 1.       BAD ANCESTRY Both Ahab and Jezebel came from an ungodly family as seen in scriptures. 1 Kings 16:25 But Omri (Ahab’s Father) wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him. 1 Kings 16:37 … he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.   2.       BAD MARRIAGE Two unconverted people came together in marriage. Whenever you see such, know that the end usually is a disaster. -           So let’s not get carried away by what carries others away 3.       BAD LIFE The lives of Ahab and...
