Acts 19:1–20 — "They're After Me Lucky Charms!"
Introduction
The ‘Libraries of Oxford’ and the ‘Lights of London’ and the ‘Lucky-Charms of Liverpool’
The explosive power of the Gospel
The power that comes from the Holy Spirit (19:1-10)
He asked: “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
Jesus’ Rescue and Jesus’ Rule
There is power in the name of Jesus (19:11-20)
Don’t use God’s power for your purposes
Use God’s power for His glory
Destroy everything that has power over us
Conclusion
Questions:
1) In what areas am I tempted to treat Christianity like a lucky charm instead of living under Christ’s lordship?
2) How do I rely on the Holy Spirit for boldness and transformation rather than relying on my own strength or religious habits?
3) Where might I be trying to use Jesus for my purposes instead of offering myself for His purposes?
4) What good gifts, skills, or opportunities has God given me—and am I using them to lift up Jesus’ name or my own?
5) Is there any belief, practice, entertainment, relationship, or habit in my life that still has power over me and needs to be “burned” because it competes with Jesus?
