Gustavo Gonzalez, our youth pastor, delivers a sermon based on Acts 19:11-20. In the city of Ephesus, Paul displayed his reliance on Jesus healing many and performing miracles. The seven sons of Sceva, a prominent Jewish priest, tried to take advantage of this success by trying to exorcise evil spirits in a similar fashion. They did not know Jesus, and the result of their efforts was disastrous. We cannot do the work of the Lord if we do not know the Lord.
Is God’s work going to be accomplished through you like Paul and the disciples or will God’s work be done in spite of you as was true with the sons of Sceva?
