Paul at Ephesus (Acts 19:1–20) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

Many people in the city of Ephesus were preoccupied with magic and the powers of the occult. When the Apostle Paul performed astonishing miracles in the city, there were even some who sought to replicate the power of the Holy Spirit for their own benefit. In this sermon, R.C. Sproul warns us that attempting to manipulate the power of God will be met with disastrous consequences. Jesus is not a force to be controlled but a Savior whom we must receive and to whom we must submit.

“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.”
Romans 11:25

Acts 8:14-17

English Standard Version

14 Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John,  15 who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit,  16 for he had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit

No speaking in tongues here recorded.

This is the church age the age of the gentiles
