Join us at Brisbane Central as we continue with our current series, Acts: Season 3. This week Michael Coe reveals why true Kingdom power can never be copied and pasted, but only flows from an authentic, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We are challenged to move past religious performance, inherited traditions, and spiritual jargon. Just as the believers in Ephesus publicly burned their costly magic scrolls to cut off past compromises, we too can bring our own hidden secrets into the light and lay down the pressure to imitate others. When you stop just going through the motions or relying on someone else’s belief, and instead focus on building a real, personal connection with God, you’ll start experiencing genuine strength, real freedom, and lasting change in your life.
Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” – Acts 19:11-15 (ESV)
