Summary

In week two of In the Arena, Pastor Joby dives into Acts 19 to show us how the same gospel power that dismantled Ephesus’s demonic stronghold still fights for us today. Paul didn’t bring gimmicks or self-help hacks—he wielded the Spirit to rend magic books worth a fortune, ignite genuine repentance, and spark revival through worship, confession, fellowship, and generosity. But decades later, Ephesus had abandoned its first love. Jesus’s tender rebuke—“Do you love me?”—reminds us that our authority flows not from programs or performance, but from a heart rooted in Christ. If you’re weary of fighting in your own strength, longing to rekindle passion for Jesus, or ready to wield gospel-fueled weapons against every chain, this sermon will equip you to step into the arena and watch Him move. 📌 Supplemental Sermon Resources: Peace in the Battle with ALS - Nicole's Story This Week's Podcast Episode In The Arena Sermon Series About The Church of Eleven22The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

on the neck. I'm into it, man. I'm into it. I might show up with it one day. You don't know,

1:20.3

but we're all in a fight. And what you have to have to win a fight is you have to have power. You ever lose power?

I've got to sleep with air condition.
