Acts 19, 365 DAYS OF LOVE #58: FATHER'S DAY LOVE

PASSAGE: Paul in Ephesus, The Riot in Ephesus

MEMORY VERSE: "'My food,' said Jesus, 'is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.'" John 4:34

NOTES: (v.1-22) Paul went to Ephesus and told the people about the Holy Spirit, and then baptized them in the name of Jesus. The Holy Spirit came upon them and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. Paul spoke boldly in the synagogue about the kingdom of God, but some refused to believe, and so Paul left them. The word of God was preached to the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia. God did extraordinary miracles through Paul so that even clothing items could heal the sick.
Some Jews tried driving out evil spirits in the name of Jesus, but one day, an evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?" Then the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them so that they ran out naked and bleeding.
When word spread of this, the name of Jesus was held high in honor. Many confessed their deeds, and many of those who practiced sorcery burned their scrolls publicly.
-(v.23-41) Demetrius, a silversmith, called together the workmen and told them that Paul was destroying their business by saying that man-made gods are no gods at all. They became furious and the whole city was in an uproar. They seized Paul's traveling companions from Macedonia, and Paul wanted to go to the crowd but the disciples would not let him. The assembly was in confusion, as most didnt even know why they were there. Finally, the city clerk quieted the crowd and dismissed the assembly.

ACT OF LOVE: Today, I woke up extra early in the morning to make chocolate chunk pancakes for my dad in honor of Father's day. It didn't go exactly as well as I planned, but they turned out decent! (I think). And then I went with my family to Monterey park for a delicious lunch.
Also, I took care of Bambi's necessities when my parents were busy.
