A Gospel Riot (Acts 19:21-41)

Are you an undercover Christian? Do you live the Christian faith in a way that troubles nobody?

Or are you a Rambo Christian? Do you get your point across about Jesus at all costs? Here in Acts 19, we are warned against both extremes. Instead, we should:

  1. Allow the Gospel to Upset How Things Are (v23-34)
  2. Don’t Become Troublemakers (v21-22, 35-41)
  3. How Do We Strike the Balance? (v30-31)

What kind of Christian are you?
