Ephesus And The Riot

Ephesus And The Riot

A riot with 25,000 screaming people. A mob chanting the same seven words for two hours straight. What caused all this chaos?... The gospel was winning! So many people in Ephesus left their idols for Jesus that the silversmiths were going out of business. They were so desperate to stop the gospel that they started a riot. But here's what's remarkable: when the dust settled, nobody could find a single thing the Christians had done against others in the city. The Christians were not known for the evils they protested against, but the good news and good works of Jesus that they were for, and that transformed the city. In this message, discover the strategy that turned the occult capital of the ancient world upside down—and why it's still the most powerful way to change a community today.

Ephesus And Exorcism

When a demon has a foothold in a life, do exorcisms work? Seven brothers found out the hard way when they tried to use Jesus' name like a lucky charm in their exorcism — and ended up beaten and stripped naked. Journey to Ephesus, the witchcraft capital of the Roman world, and discover the only power that always sends demons running.

From Judaism To Jesus - Lives In Transition

Knowing about Jesus isn't the same as trusting in him. And being a Christian doesn't always mean we've left every old pattern behind. In Acts 18–19, we meet three very different people — Paul, Apollos, and twelve disciples of John the Baptist — all standing at a turning point in their faith. Their stories show us what God's next step looks like, whether you're a seeker getting close to Jesus or a believer ready to grow into more of who he's called you to be.

Corinth - Sin City

Have you ever felt like you had nothing left? That is exactly where the apostle Paul found himself when he arrived in Corinth — alone, exhausted, and nearly broken after a brutal stretch of beatings, death threats, and disappointing results. Corinth was the most morally corrupt city in the ancient world. If anyone felt like quitting, it was Paul. In this message, we walk through four ways God encouraged a desperately discouraged Paul — and how God encourages us the same way today. Through unexpected friendships, surprising spiritual fruit, a personal word from God, and even the backfiring plans of his enemies, Paul discovered that God shows up in our darkest moments in ways we never see coming. If you are discouraged, this message is for you.

The Importance Of The Church

How can we actively be the church for one another, for our community? Unlike our individualistic society, we are called to do faith together and to be strengthened by other believers. So, what does it really look like to live out your life as the body of Christ? Let's take insight into 1 Corinthians for the answer.
