Event: The Riot in Ephesus
S – Scripture
Acts 19 v. 23 About this time there arose no little stir concerning the Way.
O - Observation
Conflict with the world. Being a follower of Christ, living out his word, sharing his word and teaching other will cause conflict. It’s true today, it was true back then. Jesus knew this when he said in Matthew 10 v.22, “And you will be hated by all for my names sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.” Why does the world hate Christians? It goes to the source. It’s not just the people that hate Christians. Remember this, Ephesians 6 v. 12, “For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Sometime I think, we lose track of what’s at stake - Our souls for eternity.
A - Application
Am I experiencing conflict in the world due to my faith?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to be faithful to the end. Love Will.
