Welcome: Today, we're diving into a powerful passage from Acts 19:1-7 we we walk into a city bustling with activity, where the supernatural is not only believed but actively sought after. This city is Ephesus, 2000 years ago.

Ephesus was a place steeped in mysticism and magic, where people eagerly chased after every new teaching and miracle. Yet, amidst all the noise and excitement, there still remained a profound sense of emptiness among the ordinary people—a yearning for something more substantial, more real.

In this episode, we'll journey to Ephesus where the Apostle Paul encounters a group of disciples who, despite their devotion, are missing a crucial element of their faith: the Holy Spirit. We will uncover the significance of the Holy Spirit's role in our spiritual journey and the difference between merely knowing about God and truly experiencing His power.

Episode Notes: Paul and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:1-7)

Theme: The transformative power of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life.

Conclusion:

• Encouragement to seek the fullness of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
• Invitation to experience the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.
• Reminder of Jesus' promise of "rivers of living water" representing the Holy Spirit.
