S – He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. After Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately

Acts 18:26 CSB

O – Commentary:

Apollos was an eloquent speaker with an excellent knowledge of the Scriptures (the OT). His knowledge about Jesus and the Holy Spirit was inadequate, though. He did not understand that believers could experience and enjoy the power of the Holy Spirit as a present energizing reality. Fortunately, Priscilla and Aquila took him aside and corrected his spiritual understanding.

 New Living Translation Study Bible 

A – Apollos was bold in his expression of repentence and baptism.  He was missing the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. We all need others in our lives who can help us see our “blind spots.”  Apollos was a great teacher but became even stronger in his message when others gave him deeper insights.

R – Heavenly Father, you are creator of all things.  Please bring others we can trust to share our “blind spots” with us.  We cannot know or see ourselves like others do.  We invite you to use others to help us grow and mature in our lives.
