23.07.19 “Sosthenes?” (Acts 19:20 & 1 Corinthians 1:1)

 

Have you ever been part of something spontaneous that grew very rapidly and involved many people? Yesterday, in our journey with the apostle Paul, we were eyewitness to a remarkable event. A huge public bonfire was held in the great city of Ephesus, but this bonfire was not for roasting hotdogs or marshmallows. This was a radical event. It was not political, nor was it a riot, nor was it arson.  This bonfire was a public burning of sorcery and occult books and other demonic materials. Those throwing these materials into the fire were the owners of these materials who had used them to make a lot of money, as they engaged the dark kingdom of Satan and his demons in Ephesus!! They had experienced deliverance from the dark kingdom, as they trusted Jesus, and His power set them free! That report is given to us in Acts 19:18,19.  (Click here to see full text, images and links)    Today's Scripture is Acts 19:20. 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.
