Acts 19:21–41 | The Confronting Gospel

Blair Robinson | September 22, 2024

Scripture: Acts 19:21-41

Main Idea. The Gospel of Jesus Christ confronts idol worship, leading people to repent or revolt. We will observe 3 confrontations in this passage: 1. The Gospel Confronts Idol Worshipers (23–27) Two effects when the gospel confronts. 1. The gospel pushes idols deeper into the heart. 2. The gospel also pushes idols out of the heart The Gospel actually changes what we love. 2. The Gospel Confronted by Idol Worshipers (28–34) Three responses to our cultural chants. 1. Despite the cultural chants, we must remember that the gospel is still The Truth. 2. In response to the chants, do not shout back louder. 3. In light of the chants, remember that Christ will one day bring justice. 3. The Crowds Confronted by God’s Care for His Church (34–41) Responses: 1. Rest because you have a Representative. 2. Repent and return to Christ. 3. Remember that you have the Spirit. 4. Rely on Gospel Relationships.
