     | 467 views

     | 570 views

    Acts 20 has a summary of Paul's ministry in various places after he left Ephesus. His closing message to the elders of Ephesus is a masterpiece of a charge to church leaders anywhere.

     | 402 views

    The loss of one's livelihood might well cause normal people to do some strange things. When Paul was in Ephesus, one man's speech to his co-workers led to a riot! How it started and ended is strange indeed.

    Introduction: These last verses of Acts 19 show some of the opposition Paul faced as he taught the Truth of God and God’s Word to the people in Ephesus.

    Evil spirits have affected people for many years. A group of seven men, claiming to have power to cast out demons, came to Ephesus and got a lot more than they bargained for! Then look at what happened next.

    Introduction: This episode took place after Paul had begun a healing ministry, sending aprons or handkerchiefs to people who needed them (Acts 19:11-12). Note, this was a one-time occurrence, never repeated anywhere else in the Bible so far as I can determine. Someone once remarked that what the ...read more
