EPHESUS, PAUL AND THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL

Acts 19:1-20, record four events that occurred after Paul’s retured to Ephesus, each of which demonstrated the power of the gospel of Christ to transform people and situations to the glory of God. The events respectively banished spiritual ignorance,replaced a redundant Judaism, exposed spiritual fraud, and put an end to occultism, witchcraft and evil sorcery in Ephesus. The work of the Holy Spirit through Paul resulted in the rapid spread and triumph of the gospel across the region.
