Welcome: Today, we're diving into a powerful passage from Acts 19:1-7 we we walk into a city bustling with activity, where the supernatural is not only believed but actively sought after. This city is Ephesus, 2000 years ago.
Ephesus was a place steeped in mysticism and magic, where people eagerly chased after every new teaching and miracle. Yet, amidst all the noise and excitement, there still remained a profound sense of emptiness among the ordinary people—a yearning for something more substantial, more real.
In this episode, we'll journey to Ephesus where the Apostle Paul encounters a group of disciples who, despite their devotion, are missing a crucial element of their faith: the Holy Spirit. We will uncover the significance of the Holy Spirit's role in our spiritual journey and the difference between merely knowing about God and truly experiencing His power.
