16th June- Acts 19 v.8-22- Neil Todman

In this sermon, pastor Neil Todman helps us to see how the strange events that happen in Ephesus set the dark backdrop against which the light of the gospel preached by Paul shines brightly. He then explains how Dr Luke in this section of Acts contrasts real Christian faith with the counterfeit faiths of the Jews who reject the gospel; the Sons of Sceva who disastrously try to use the power of the gospel for their own ends; and sets the scene for next week's sermon where the citizens of Ephesus double-down on their worship of Artemis. This sermon ends with an appeal for a confident, childlike, faith that trusts the power and mercy of King Jesus. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
