Priscilla: Planting Seeds of Faith

This week’s sermon explored Acts 18:1-6, 24-26, spotlighting Priscilla, a key figure in the early church. Despite cultural norms, Priscilla’s leadership, teaching, and dedication to spreading the gospel were vital to the growth of Christianity. Her partnership with her husband, Aquila, and her work mentoring Apollos demonstrates how God uses individuals, often unnoticed, to do extraordinary work.
“Priscilla reminds us that the work we do today, seen or unseen, can plant seeds for a harvest that blesses generations.”
