Christ the King Anglican Church Toronto's sermon from July 6, 2025.

Sermon preached at East Frankfort Baptist Church on July 6, 2025 during evening worship.

This Sunday, we dove into Acts 19, where Paul brings the Gospel into one of the most idol-filled cities in the ancient world: Ephesus. It's a wild and powerful story where revival breaks out, but not before the truth challenges the culture head-on.We talked about how idols aren't just golden statues or ancient gods. They're often good things we've given ultimate value like success, relationships, family, comfort, security. And while they may promise peace, they can't deliver like Jesus can.We unpacked how easy it is to let the good things in life quietly take the place of God and how Jesus lovingly calls us back to something deeper, freer, and far more lasting. Tune into this week's message titled, “American Idols”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).If you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Acts 19:21-41 English Standard VersionA Riot at Ephesus21 Now after these events Paul resolved in the Spirit to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”22 And having sent into Macedonia two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.23 About that time there arose no little disturbance concerning the Way. 24 For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen. 25 These he gathered together, with the workmen in similar trades, and said, “Men, you know that from this business we have our wealth. 26 And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost all of Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great many people, saying that gods made with hands are not gods. 27 And there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis may be counted as nothing, and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world worship.”28 When they heard this they were enraged and were crying out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” 29 So the city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed together into the theater, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians who were Paul's companions in travel. 30 But when Paul wished to go in among the crowd, the disciples would not let him. 31 And even some of the Asiarchs, who were friends of his, sent to him and were urging him not to venture into the theater. 32 Now some cried out one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had come together. 33 Some of the crowd prompted Alexander, whom the Jews had put forward. And Alexander, motioning with his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd.34 But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all cried out with one voice, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”35 And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, “Men of Ephesus, who is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the sacred stone that fell from the sky? 36 Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash. 37 For you have brought these men here who are neither sacrilegious nor blasphemers of our goddess. 38 If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another. 39 But if you seek anything further, it shall be settled in the regular assembly. 40 For we really are in danger of being charged with rioting today, since there is no cause that we can give to justify this commotion.” 41 And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.English Standard Version (ESV)The Holy Bible, English Standard Version.

A verse by verse study in the book of Acts with Pastor Jeff Figgs of Calvary Chapel Greeley

Paul arrives in Ephesus to find some confusion about baptism and new converts who had not yet received the Holy Spirit. As the Spirit comes in power, people in the city take notice and the good news spreads rapidly.

Acts 19:8-20 English Standard Version8 And he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God. 9 But when some became stubborn and continued in unbelief, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus. 10 This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.The Sons of Sceva11 And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them. 13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” 14 Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. 15 But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” 16 And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 And this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled. 18 Also many of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices. 19 And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily.English Standard Version (ESV)The Holy Bible, English Standard Version.

Someone said, "The Spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions and the nearer we get to Him the more intensely missionary we must become."  The early church was a movement that displayed the heart of God as a result lives were radically changed. Those early missionary's were able to do that because they were all in with Him. The encouragement to the church, to us, is to be all in with Him, that we might display His heart that lives will be radically changed today.  By Dave Bartlett

Acts 19:1-7 English Standard VersionPaul in Ephesus19 And it happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the inland country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. 2 And he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” 3 And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John's baptism.” 4 And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus.” 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying.7 There were about twelve men in all.English Standard Version (ESV)The Holy Bible, English Standard Version.

We are kicking off a summer series through the book of Ephesians, but we need to specifically start in the book of Acts. Pastor Bryan shares how God sent Paul out to all people groups to start churches and preach about his return.

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 19 Paul's third journey takes him to Ephesus, where he stays for two years. He first meets disciples who had only experienced John's baptism. He teaches them about the Holy Spirit from God and baptizes them in Jesus' name. Paul then lays hands on them, imparting the power of the Holy Spirit. Extraordinary miracles occur through Paul, demonstrating God's limitless power. Later, some exorcists attempt to invoke Jesus' name without true faith and are overpowered by a demonic spirit, leading many to renounce occult practices and burn their sorcery books. Paul's teachings about Jesus ultimately challenge the idol-making trade, angering a craftsman named Demetrius. A riot breaks out as many of the people worship a goddess named Artemis. After two hours, the town clerk finally calms the crowd, and the mob disperses. Like Apollos in chapter 18, Paul encounters individuals with incomplete knowledge of Christ and His will. He teaches them the full truth of the gospel, leading them to be “baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.” These accounts guide us in how to help believers with limited understanding. Paul asks questions to discern their beliefs and explains God's truth simply and clearly. He wisely reasons with others, avoiding an adversarial approach, and this leads to “the word of the Lord growing mightily and prevailing.” Share the word with kindness, building on the truth people already know. Though this may provoke opposition, trust in God's protection and blessings as you faithfully carry out His mission and share His love. Holy Lord, may Your will be done in our lives. Use us as messengers of truth, accepting opportunities to fulfill what is lacking in others' hearts. Thank You for Your perfect word to guide us and for Your protective power that gives peace and courage. Refute those who distract from the gospel and soften their hearts to obey and be saved. Disperse the crowds who let idolatry fuel anger and who lash out at Your people. We trust You are in control and that Your word will spread mightily. Strengthen us to engage faithfully in the work of sharing Your gospel.  Thought Questions: -       What is your attitude toward believers with incomplete knowledge about God? How can Paul's example impact how you interact with them? -       The sorcerers' failings opened people's eyes to see the truth. Are you ready to guide people to the truth when the lies of the world fail them? -       Demetrius was furious as the gospel was a threat to his income. Why does money so often affect how people respond to God's will?

The Gospel is disruptive. What does it look like for you to burn the books? What of your past do you need to declare, "No turning back; No going back." When the light of the Gospel confronts darkness, it forces a decision upon us. Will we resist and hide in the darkness? Will we revolt and reject the Way of Jesus? Or will we revere the name of Jesus, renounce our sin, and repent from old ways?

Throughout the book of Acts, we witness the resurrection life of Jesus take root and grow, not in theory, but in bodies, cities, communities, and cultures. The gospel is not only something we believe—it's something we live. In suffering and in joy, in conflict and in hospitality, in worship and in witness, in movement and in mission, the early church becomes a living sign of God's new creation.Sermon by Pastor Scott Edinger

The power of God prevails over evil spirits and idol empires. He changes people so radically that they begin to change the city.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to save sinners from their sins and to advance the kingdom of God—even in places steeped in idolatry.

25.5.11 - Acts 19:11-41 - Josh Breffle by Windsor Community Church

Jesus Christ is Lord over all and is worthy of our undivided devotion.

The biblical gospel triumphs over incomplete faith and unbelieving resistance.

When a revival started in Ephesus, the sale of Artemis shrines dropped significantly. A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines, stirred up a riot after seeing the loss of business. As God's kingdom impacts the culture, persecution against the followers of Jesus will increase. Scripture References: Acts 19:21-41, Psalm 115:4-8 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

God was doing extraordinary miracles through Paul. But when the Seven Sons of Sceva tried to mimic Paul's authority, a demon possessed man overpowered them and wounded them. In response to this power encounter, many people of Ephesus confessed and divulged their practices and burned their books of magic. Scripture References: Acts 19:11-20, James 2:19, 1 Peter 5:8, 1 John 5:19, Matthew 7:21-23, Ephesians 5:11Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson
