Who really has power?
Who can be trusted with authority?
And what happens when Jesus enters a city built on rival names?

In Acts 19, the gospel confronts confusion, exposes counterfeit spirituality, topples borrowed authority, and provokes costly repentance. Pastor David walks us through five movements in the text:

1 Confusion — good but incomplete faith
2 True Authority — the Word of the Lord prevailing
3 Counterfeits — borrowed authority collapsing
4 Costly Revival — confession and renunciation
5 Cultural Collision — idols pushing back
6 The True Center — life in Jesus’ name alone

 

This passage reminds us that revival isn’t hype, formulas, or personalities — it’s when the Word of the Lord outgrows the rival names that used to run us.

 

 You’ll discover:
Why sincerity without surrender has no authority
Why you can’t borrow faith or outsource allegiance
How spiritual substitutes quietly replace Jesus
Why idols always demand more and give less
What it means to renounce rival names and follow Jesus fully
