When the City Is in an Uproar | Acts 19:28–41 | Alex Sands

In this episode, Pastor Alex Sands teaches from Acts 19:28–41, where the gospel confronts the culture of Ephesus and the city erupts into chaos.

The Sons of Sceva | The Power That Cannot Be Imitated | Alex Sands

In this episode, Pastor Alex Sands takes us into Acts 19:11–20, where the city of Ephesus encounters the undeniable power of God. As extraordinary miracles happen through Paul, the Seven Sons of Sceva attempt to use the name of Jesus without truly knowing Him — and what happens next shakes the whole city. This passage reveals a powerful truth: the name of Jesus is not a formula to be used, but a Lord to be surrendered to. Join us as we explore real faith, spiritual authority, repentance, and how the word of the Lord continued to grow and prevail. Our Mission “We exist to glorify God by making disciples that CONNECT passionately with God and His family, GROW progressively to spiritual maturity, SERVEselflessly with their gifts and talents, and GOrelentlessly into the world with the life-giving gospel of Jesus Christ.”
