3. HOW DOES APOLLOS ALSO DEMONSTRATE A SERVANT’S HEART IN THE<br />

ENCOUNTER WITH PRISCILLA AND AQUILA?<br />

4. NOTICE THAT THE TEXT CONSISTENTLY LISTS PRISCILLA, THE FEMALE,<br />

BEFORE AQUILA, HER HUSBAND. IN THIS CULTURE THAT IS HIGHLY<br />

SIGNIFICANT, AS WOMEN HAD LITTLE FINANCIAL, POLITICAL, OR SOCIAL<br />

INFLUENCE. WHAT DOES THIS TELL YOU ABOUT PRISCILLA? WHAT INSIGHT<br />

DOES IT GIVE YOU INTO APOLLOS’S CHARACTER?<br />

5. READ ROMANS 16:3-5.<br />

SHOWING KINDNESS AND<br />

HOSPITALITY TO OTHERS IS A FORM<br />

OF SERVICE. HAVE YOU EVER<br />

THOUGHT ABOUT THESE ACTIONS<br />

AS A WAY TO SERVE? WHAT OTHER<br />

ATTITUDES OR BEHAVIORS CAN BE<br />

WAYS TO SERVE PEOPLE?<br />

Give my greetings to Priscilla<br />

and Aquila, my co-workers in <strong>the</strong><br />

ministry of Christ Jesus. In fact,<br />

<strong>the</strong>y once risked <strong>the</strong>ir lives for me.<br />

I am thankful to <strong>the</strong>m, and so are<br />

all <strong>the</strong> Gentile churches. Also give<br />

my greetings to <strong>the</strong> church that<br />

meets in <strong>the</strong>ir home.<br />

Greet my dear friend Epenetus.<br />

He was <strong>the</strong> first person from <strong>the</strong><br />

province of Asia to become a<br />

follower of Christ. Romans 16:3-5<br />
