Fighting with No Power - In The Arena: Wk 2

The same gospel power that shook Ephesus still fights for you today. In week two of In the Arena, Pastor Joby opens Acts 19 to show how Paul didn’t come with gimmicks or quick fixes—he came armed with the Spirit. Magic scrolls worth a fortune went up in flames, repentance spread like wildfire, and a revival marked by worship, confession, fellowship, and generosity shook the city. But decades later, the church in Ephesus had abandoned its first love. Jesus’s tender question—“Do you love Me?”—wasn’t about performance or programs, but about a heart anchored in Him. If you’re weary of fighting in your own strength and longing to see chains break, this message will help you wield gospel-fueled weapons and rekindle your passion for Christ. The question is: Do you still love Him? 👉 Take Your Next Step: Ready to surrender your life to Jesus?
