The Bereans (Acts 17:1-5)

The Riot at Ephesus (Acts 19:21-41)

Paul encounters a riot and a mob at Ephesus because the Spirit has changed the churches actions and habits, and they are no longer in need of the idols and shrines that craftsmen are making.  The general principle for us today is that the Spirit will work outwardly through us to impact the culture around us.

Facing Your Fears (Acts 18:1-22)

In Acts 18 we learn about how Paul is afraid.  He says that he was in great fear and trembling in Corinth.  Yet, the Lord provides for Paul in a number of ways to help him face his fears, and He will do the same thing for you and for me as we trust the Spirit and depend upon Him.   THE GRACE BLOG WEBSITE: https://thegraceblog.com/blog BUY ME A COFFEE: https://buymeacoffee.com/jasonjz GRACE SERMONS PODCAST: https://thegraceblog.com/podcast #acts18 #fear #facingyourfears #sermon #lifeinthespirit

Paul at Mars Hill (Acts 17:16-34)

Paul at Mars Hill shares the gospel after being greatly distressed by all of the idols in Athens as well as by the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers.  Idols and philosophies never deliver fully on what they are promising.  The give you just enough to keep you coming back but never leave you satisfied.  Meaning, purpose, and abundant life can only be found in Jesus!

The Bereans (Acts 17:1-5)

When the Bereans were presented with the gospel, they received it with eagerness and examined the Scriptures to see if what Paul said was true.  As a result, many of them put their faith in Jesus and became new creations in Christ!  As we hear new truths presented from others, the Spirit will lead us to do the same thing today.  We receive the information but don't necessarily take it as truth.  We examine the information in light of the Scriptures and depend upon the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to us.
