Acts of the Spirit: The Name Above Every Other Name
This week in our Acts of the Spirit series, guest preacher Reverend Thomas Bowen preaches on Acts 19:21-40. Paul’s preaching against idols in Ephesus challenges both the people’s spiritual loyalties and their economic interests. A silversmith stirs up a chaotic mob, and the crowd, driven by fear and confusion, reveals how quickly people can be swept up in emotion and false idols, rather than facing the truth.
