Podcasts about ephesus acts

We already knew Paul intended to complete the third missionary journey, then go to Jerusalem, and then he planned to go to Rome. Back in Ephesus:Acts 19:21: Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."While we survey the chapter, I want you to think like a X-ray machine. We're going to see what is here, but we are also going to look beneath the surface at what I'm calling Fingerprints Of The Invisible Hand a case study on the Providence of God.If the Providence of God can be described as His invisible hand at work in the world, in Acts 23 we can see Ten Fingerprints Of The Hand Of God. These are samples of the kinds of things that you do or you encounter all the time.1 - Your Life Circumstances (1)2 - Evil People Who Trouble You (2)3 - Working Despite Your Blunders (3-5)4 - The Foibles Of Sinners (6-9)5 - People Who Don't Know It (10-11)6 - Murderers And Liars (12-15)7 - Overhearing And Whistleblowing (16-22)8 - Clueless Unbelievers (23-24)9 - Self-Serving Pomposity (25-33)10 - Responsibility-Dodging Bureaucracy (34-35)

About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way. A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought in a lot of business for the craftsmen there. He called them together, along with the workers in related trades, and said: ‘You know, my friends, that we receive a good income from this business. And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that gods made by human hands are no gods at all. There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited; and the goddess herself, who is worshipped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty.' When they heard this, they were furious and began shouting: ‘Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!' Soon the whole city was in an uproar. The people seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's travelling companions from Macedonia, and all of them rushed into the theatre together. Paul wanted to appear before the crowd, but the disciples would not let him. Even some of the officials of the province, friends of Paul, sent him a message begging him not to venture into the theatre. The assembly was in confusion: some were shouting one thing, some another. Most of the people did not even know why they were there. The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander to the front, and they shouted instructions to him. He motioned for silence in order to make a defence before the people. But when they realised he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours: ‘Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!' The city clerk quietened the crowd and said: ‘Fellow Ephesians, doesn't all the world know that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven? Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to calm down and not do anything rash. You have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed temples nor blasphemed our goddess. If, then, Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a grievance against anybody, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. They can press charges. If there is anything further you want to bring up, it must be settled in a legal assembly. As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of what happened today. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it.' After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly. (Acts 19.23-41)

Sunday 15th September, 6:30 service, Tom Pollard. Revelation 2:1-7. What does God want His church to look like? John Stott writes in his commentary on Revelation; “although their message is related to the specific situations of those churches, it expresses concerns which apply to all churches. By praise and censure, by warning and exhortation, Christ reveals what he wants his church to be like in all places and at all times.” Notice the reading structure: The Address (2:1a), The Description (2:1b), The Commendation (2:2-3, 6), The Complaint (2:4), The Command (2:5a), The Warning (2:5b), The Appeal (2:7a) & The Promise (2:7b). Christ commends His church for their activity in ministry and observes the suffering that they face, yet what Christ seeks above all is their love; love being the mark of a true and living church. Jesus seeks our love. How might we repent of our activity being given greater priority then our first love, Jesus? Christs appeal, his invitation is to pay attention to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. How might we listen to the Spirit at this time in our church life? Other passages that relate to the life of the church in Ephesus: Acts 18:19-21, 24-26, Acts 19, leadership transition 1 Tim 1:3.

In this profound discussion, we explore the delicate balance between standing firm in biblical truth and responding to cultural challenges with love and grace. The conversation centers on Acts 3:19, reminding us that the purpose of the Gospel is to experience Jesus' presence through repentance. We're challenged to consider how we can impact culture in a Christ-like manner, focusing on individual hearts rather than waging public wars. The story of Paul in Ephesus (Acts 19) serves as a powerful example of how preaching the Gospel and discipling converts can organically transform culture. This approach emphasizes the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to convict and empower, rather than relying on our own strength to change society. Let us know your thoughts about the episode!

Part of The Acts of the Apostles series. Sermon by Pastor Nathan Alley The post Paul's Farewell to Ephesus – Acts 20:17-38 first appeared on Applewood Community Church.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    1 John 2:18  (The apostle John says:)  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.   ("The last days" began at the time of the beginning of the early church in the days of John.)   19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.   John explains there were many antichrist in their day who came into their church group.  When they could not bring in their perverse doctrines, these antichrist people left and set up their own denominations and brought to themselves people who would follow their perverse doctrines.

Revival and Riot in Ephesus (Acts 19:8-20, 23-41) - Evening Sermon

The Work of the Lord at Ephesus — Acts 19:1-20 The Spirit of the Lord (verse 6) The Name of the Lord (verse 17) The Word of the Lord (verse 20)

The message this week is titled "Ephesus" by Pastor Cole Tawney discussing Acts 19:1-41 in our sermon series called “On Mission for the Gospel” taking us through the book of Acts. As followers of Jesus Christ we are called to use words to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, but it must first come from a heart that is excited to share this news with others. Thanks for watching!

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    The apostle Paul shows us how antichrist will work in the end time New Testament churches.   2 Thessalonians 2   3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord)  shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;   4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.   In 1982, God explained to me the "falling away" spoken of in this scripture.   The falling away are not people leaving the church.  The falling away are the churches leaving the scriptures.  

This week Benjamin Chua continues our Acts series. Paul is in Ephesus (Acts 19:1-7) and he meets a group of people who haven't heard about the Holy Spirit. It becomes a conversation about two different baptisms - John's baptism and baptism in Jesus' name. Paul lays his hands on them, prays for them, they receive the Spirit and beginning speaking in tongues and prophesying. Yet, this passage is about so much more than speaking in tongues and prophesy. It's about identity, belonging, gifting, and how we as individuals and a community experience salvation as a pouring out so others can be invited in, so the church can be built up, and so we can join in to Jesus' life and invite the world to "Come!" (Rev. 22:17)

Persecution often strengthens God's church in its growth despite opposition.

As we begin our journey into Paul's epistle to the Ephesians, Bob shows how the church in Ephesus began and that the good news of what God had done in Jesus and is doing in the Spirit changed everything for them, as well as for us today.

Paul's Ministry at EphesusActs 19:1-7“Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people.”  (Acts 2:46-47). “And the word of God kept on spreading; and the number of the disciples continued to increase greatly . . .”  (Acts 6:&). “So the church throughout Judea and Galilee and Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up; and going on the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it continued to increase.”  (Acts 9:31). “So the churches were being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily.”  (Acts 16:5). “So the word of the Lord was growing mightily and prevailing.”  (Acts 19:20). WOW!!   Just about on every page of the book of Acts we see the amazing story of THE TRIUMPH OF THE GOSPEL even in the darkest of times.   So what did the early church as described in Acts have that the modern church today doesn't have?  Answer:  ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!  God has given to us today the very same thing that He gave the early church.  As we begin our journey into this faithful and carefully written history of the early church by Doctor Luke, let's pray that God will instill a new excitement and joy for what He has done and can continue to do by His Holy Spirit through the Church of Jesus Christ today, so that the TRIUMPH OF THE GOSPEL  can be experienced even now in the dark days in which we live.

You are listening to a message from Pastor Michael Thompson who is the Children's Ministries Pastor at Rosedale Baptist Church in Rosedale, MD. Each week we provide these messages to help you grow in your faith and find encouragement through God's Word.

In Acts chapter 20, we hear Paul speak some final encouragement to the Church before he faces his last days in ministry. This Father's Day we will consider some powerful truths spoken by a spiritual father that will resound no matter where you are in your faith journey.

* Last week, we transitioned from Paul's 2nd missionary journey to his third journey. On that trip, he promised those in Ephesus that he would return. * On his first stop in Ephesus, Paul was received well and people begged him to stay. However, wherever the gospel is proclaimed continuously, there will eventually be opposition. That is what discuss today ... the opposition to the Gospel in Ephesus. * The City of Ephesus was the largest city and, commercially, the most prosperous city in the province of Asia. It was easily accessed from sea by Athens, Corinth and Rome, and was the gateway to inland trade routes, making travel easy to any point. Due to silting, the main harbor is now about 10 kms to the west! Pilgrims came from around the world to Ephesus – home of the temple of Artemis (Diana - Roman), one of the seven wonders of the world. * This message was presented on May 28, 2023 by Bob Corbin.

"Nothing changed in the Scriptures, everything changed in Paul's heart." This week, Brett started our new series through the book of Ephesians, focusing on chapter 1, verses 1 and 2. We learned about the story of Paul's conversion and background information on the letter he wrote to the Ephesians. For more context, used some passages from Acts: Acts 7: 54-60 (the first time we meet Paul) Acts 8:1 Acts 9: 1-25 (Paul's conversion) Acts 13: 44-52 Acts 18:19-21 (Paul's second missionary journey) Acts 19: 1-7 (Paul's first journey back to Ephesus) Acts 19: 23-34 Acts 20: 17-38 (Paul's final encounter with the church of Ephesus)
