Sunday, 21 June 2020 | Acts 19:21-41 //
Rob Pomeroy | Riots and Reasons //
In today’s passage, we see a riot that occurs in Ephesus, centring around the perceived threat of Christianity to the livelihood of some craftsmen – to the prestige of the city: //
//
- Christianity is not a threat to the state. //
- We don’t normally attack the world’s sin; we present the truth. //
- Do not cling to worldly things. //
- But also don’t be afraid of the world, or fear its people. //
- Be a true friend to sinners. //
- Respect, appreciate and pray for the authorities.
