Everyone has a next step to take with Jesus.
Talk to any airline pilot and they'll tell you about the 1 in 60 rule, being off course by just one degree puts you a mile off target after 60 miles. Over a long enough distance, a tiny miscalculation lands you somewhere completely different than where you meant to go. But there's a worse problem than drifting off course, a plane that starts its engines, taxis around the runway for hours, all motion and noise, and never actually takes off.
This message walks through Acts 18:24-19:7 and finds both of these people in the church, a man who's already flying but needs to be recalibrated, and twelve men who've been taxiing on the runway of religion their whole lives, needing to finally take off.
In this sermon:
Believers Who Need to Grow. Why Apollos, already a believer, already teaching accurately about Jesus, still needed correction, why the private, loving way Priscilla and Aquila corrected him matters as much as the correction itself, and why growth was never meant to happen in isolation from other believers.
Attenders Who Need to Know. Why asking questions before correcting someone is almost always the wiser approach, and why receiving the Holy Spirit was never meant to be a second, later experience separate from believing.
Also covered: a mission trip encounter with a street preacher in Poland who tied salvation itself to speaking in tongues, why the tongues in Acts 2, 10, and 19 are marking the gospel's advance rather than setting a pattern every believer must repeat, what baptism actually does rather than merely symbolizes, and why church membership means committing to love people enough to actually correct them.
