Christ Jesus has risen from the grave! Through the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, we have peace with God, freedom from the shackles of our sins, and the promise of eternal life. Because He lives, we too may live with resurrection power and hope. This is truly the greatest news there could ever be. Today, we celebrate and cheer for the One who has given us life by giving up His own and taking it up again!
Luke 24:1-12

"Peace on earth!" was declared by angels at the announcement of His birth. "Peace in heaven!" was declared by people at the announcement of His entry. Jesus Christ is the rightful King of Peace on earth and in heaven. As the people temporarily sang His praise, Christ wept knowing what was in their hearts as well as the future destruction of Jerusalem. Despite the rejection, our King made the way of redemption, securing our peace with God forever. Jesus, our King of Peace has come and is coming again!
Luke 19:28-44

Acts 19 is the story of God working in incredible ways in the city of Ephesus. Acts 19:11-20 is one of the wildest stories though in the Bible, dudes are just trying to make a buck doing some tricks and yet the Lord has “concern for his holy name” as the prophet Ezekiel would say. So God exalts himself by not allowing these exorcists to misuse his name rather they run out “naked and wounded.” God will always exalt his name above sin and evil. He will always have the last word when it comes to people trying to use the name of Jesus for selfish reasons when their hearts are not submissive to the Lord. God will always be exalted, even in the most bizarre of ways.
Acts 19:11-20

Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Adventist, Pentecostal, Catholic, Episcopal, and Non-Denominational churches (just to name a few) are all around; each having its doctrinal and practical distinctives. Some even add cult groups such as Mormonism and Jehovah’s Witness to the list of Christian denominations. How are we to know and test what is genuine Christianity and what is not? When Paul entered Ephesus he encountered a group of people who had a form of religion that was not genuinely Christian. The group was sincere in their beliefs and practices, but despite their sincere adherence (even to the teachings of John the Baptist), they had not received and embraced that which makes us completely Christian, the Holy Spirit who dwells only in those who trust in Jesus who is both Savior and Lord.
Acts 19:1-10

The 2nd mission trip finished out, with Paul leaving Silas and Timithy to lead the church in Corinth, and leaving Aquila and Priscilla to start a church in Ephesus, while Paul set sail to return for a respite at his home church in Antioch.  Paul didn’t stay long, and soon after began the 3rd mission trip, heading west back to Ephesus, encouraging the churches along the way.  Meanwhile, back in Ephesus, Aquila and Priscilla stepped into the life of Apollos, a well-educated, articulate, powerful preacher.  They filled a gap in Apollos’ theology and understanding of salvation, which Apollos humbly accepted, and turned him loose to preach the Gospel.  These stories are a great reminder to us:  ministry requires a team effort; healthy ministry requires healthy ministers; humble preachers will always be willing to listen to correction; and we are all called to step into others’ lives where needed, especially where the accuracy of the Gospel is concerned.

Paul’s ministry continues to Corinth where new ministry partners are found along with new believers and continued opposition to the Name of Christ. At the heart of Acts 18:1-17 is a vision Paul received from Jesus to not fear or be silent but to continue proclaiming the gospel trusting in God’s protection. God’s people are entrusted with the same message and called to the same work. We must not be silent because there are many around us God is calling to Himself.
Acts 18:1-17
