Acts 19:8 - 41
ActsSteve Gregg
In Acts 19:8-41, Steve Gregg discusses Paul's third missionary tour and his time in Ephesus. In this region, Paul converted many and confronted occult and demonic activity. Despite opposition from Jewish exorcists and rioting caused by local craftsmen whose business was impacted by Paul's teachings, the word of the Lord grew and prevailed in Ephesus. Additionally, the burning of books of magic by those in the region who were moved by Paul's message demonstrated the transformative impact of his ministry.
