What does spiritual warfare actually look like?
Many imagine it as political activism, culture wars, angry arguments, or public demonstrations. But when we come to Acts 19, we find something remarkably different.
As the gospel spreads through Ephesus, one of the greatest pagan strongholds in the Roman Empire, idols begin to fall, economies are disrupted, and an entire city erupts into chaos. Yet the church never advances through violence, intimidation, or worldly tactics. Instead, Christ wages war through a Spirit-filled people who faithfully proclaim the gospel, exercise wisdom and restraint, and maintain a blameless witness before the world.
Join us as we continue our exposition of Acts and consider what it truly means for the church to be the Church Militant.
We encourage you to gather with a faithful, biblical local church this Lord’s Day. This livestream is intended as a supplement for those who are providentially hindered from gathering, not as a replacement for the corporate worship of Christ’s church.
