oDay 32, Read Ac. 18:18-28. 18:28: "he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly."

One thing that is clear in this section is that Christians need help.  All of us.  Always.  We see the way "visiting preachers" like Paul and Apollos help the local church.  Paul returned for the third time to Galatia and strengthened the disciples.  Apollos needed more accuracy in his understanding.  And believers in Achaia needed help.  Of interest is the way Apollos helped them.  He could defend the gospel.  And he did this by publicly refuting the Jews, while at the same time helping the believers.  Now without a doubt every believer needs to grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ (2 Pt. 3:18).  But let us be careful about assuming they all need to be like Apollos.  There are gifts and skills that God gives and they must be used in the Body.  The Church today has lost the vision for this kind of ministry.  It is often the result of proud pastors (3 Jn. 9-10). It is often the result of lazy churches.  It is also unlike the early church.
