    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 19, 2008
     | 5,029 views

    Finally after years of struggle, Paul sees victory after victory, even amidst tough opposition in Ephesus. It is an affirmation of his apostleship. What happens as God begins to work more through you than on you?

    Chapter 19 could be called the High Point in Paul’s ministry. In this chapter he goes to the place he may have wanted to go way back at the beginning: Ephesus.

He had a previous relationship with Jesus. This public moment was preceded by behind-the-scenes things. - The ...read more

    Common Pt. 3 - Tag! Introduction We are afflicted with apathy. We are so overcome by it that we treat God as if He is "a dime a dozen", ordinary, optional, routine, or common!
