Our text shows us God’s work and God’s workers in process. It’s a passage of Scripture where I wish that the Lord had seen fit to give us more details than He did. In fact, this passage seems to raise more questions than it gives answers. What is so important about Paul’s haircut? What was Paul’s vow? Why did he take it? Why didn’t Paul stay on at Ephesus? Was Apollos a believer before Priscilla and Aquila explained things to him?

It seems to me, that even with these questions and more, a common thread appears in that we see people in process, and God using these people to accomplish His work of spreading the gospel and building His church.
