Summary

Program, performance, or power? In week two of In the Arena, Pastor Joby Martin, Pastor Michael Olson and Pastor Vinke trace the explosive beginnings of the Ephesian church in Acts 19, then move through cultural blindspots, ministry cautions, and the daily grind of following Jesus—showing why authority without relationship leaves us powerless. You’ll hear why the riot over silver idols mattered, how empty formulas fail, and why the local church and sacrificial worship are our lifeline to real, Spirit-empowered victory. “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” — Theodore Roosevelt Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910 📌 Supplemental Sermon Resources: Peace in the Battle with ALS - Nicole's Story This Week's Sermon 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.
