s1e93 Acts 19:1-41

Observations:

• What's next in the evolution of the story?
• What's the deal with using Paul's clothing, even those handkerchiefs and aprons?
• The people who John had baptized...were they believers at the beginning? Did they know who Jesus was?
• Who is Sceva? Signficance?
• Where was the hall of Tyrannus? Signficance?
• 2 years of teaching - reaching all of Asia?
• Signficance to divulging their magic practices?
• Nothing much came of the riot it seems - what was Luke's intention of including this scene?

Meaning:

(Ty) Real last power can only come from the Trinity. Typically from the renewing of the Holy Spirit to a pure heart. A heart who above all else knows the Joy of Salvation through the way of Jesus Christ. It's not about the words it's about the heart.

(Darin) Jesus is still delivering people and using the church to do his work.

Application:

Inward: (Ty) When this world wants to drag me down and just wear me out with all their words, thoughts and unwritten rules, may I allow the creator to lift me up and up again be the prevailing voice in my life. Inspire Joy in me.

(Darin) Do the demons know me?

Outward: (Ty) Care enough about people to show them the way is all about the heart.

(Darin) Am I committed to the teaching of the gospel?

Upward: (Ty) Psalms 51:10-12

(Darin) Praise the name of the Lord Jesus who owns total authority.
