Sermon Video: Paul and the Power of the Spirit - Acts 19:1-12
As Paul continues on his third missionary journey, he first visits churches that he had helped found during the 1st and 2nd journey, and then returns to Ephesus where he had stopped briefly the previous year. At Ephesus, Paul finds some disciples who had not yet received the Holy Spirit. Questioning them, Paul realizes that they only knew the baptism of John (the need for repentance) but nothing about the one whom John had prepared the way for, that is Jesus. Upon hearing about Jesus, and believing, these disciples also receive the Holy Spirit.
Paul continues his mission effort by spending the next several months teaching in the synagogue until opposition there forces him to seek out a new venue. Undaunted, Paul continues teaching in Ephesus, ultimately spreading the Gospel message throughout that province.
