23.07.15 “Anointed” (Acts 19:1-7)

 

I presume you've had the experience of starting a project and without enough time to finish, leaving it for another day, maybe many more days? I left you yesterday mid-stream, almost mid-sentence, in an experience like that with the apostle Paul and 12 men in the city of Ephesus in the year 52ad. It's recorded for us in Acts 19 and let's rejoin Paul as he is explaining Jesus and the full Gospel of Jesus to these men who only knew a little about Jesus.  Paul had asked them a simple but powerful question: "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" (Acts 19:2) They had responded "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." Yesterday I led you through what I suspect Paul explained to them about the Holy Spirit of God, and we believe these men enthusiastically placed their full trust in Jesus Christ to be their Savior.   (Click here to see full text, images and links)   Today's Scripture is Acts 19:1-7. Choose below to read or listen.​​ Pastor Doug Anderson     “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2) Have a comment or question about today’s chapter? I’m ready to hear from you, contact me here.
