HECHOS 18:1

The first person the Bible describes as filled with God's Spirit wasn't a prophet. He was a craftsman. Over three days, we'll meet a builder, a cupbearer, and a tentmaker, and discover why your job may be far more sacred than you've been told.

Have you ever stopped in the middle of a routine day and wondered why you were going through the motions? Have you asked the question, "What is my purpose?" When you don't have a clear and identified purpose and focus, you can drift off from the mission. Jesus has a purpose for all of us.

The apostle Paul is legendary for his work as a minister of the gospel. But we often forget that throughout his ministry, Paul also worked as a culture-creating tentmaker. As Scriptures in this plan make clear, Paul had the option to work as a “donor-supported missionary” but chose not to. Why? That’s the question we’ll answer in this plan, and in so doing, glean insights relevant to our own work.

In this four-part devotional, Lenya Heitzig pairs women of the New Testament with the wildflowers they represent. Like the lovely and hardy hollyhock, Priscilla flourished in challenging circumstances. In this five-day reading plan, discover more about this unique woman who worked hard alongside her husband making tents and alongside Paul the apostle making disciples.
