Missionary Journey Acts 18:23 After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out from there and traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples. 5. Acts 18:23, Started the 3rd. Missionary Journey 6. ACTS 19 Continues The 3rd. Missionary Journey 7. Acts 19:1, Paul Came To Ephesus 8. Acts 19:1, Paul Came To Ephesus NAU Acts 19:1 It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples. 2 teams again 3101 mathetes {math-ay-tes'} Meaning: 1) a learner, pupil, disciple NAU John 6:66 As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore. 9. Acts 19:2, Receiving The Holy Spirit Acts 19:2"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? Paul expected that if the were saved they would have receive the Holy Spirit Theyre not saved yet, they believed but hadnt received; John 1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God NAU 2 Corinthians 11:4 For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted 10. Acts 19:2, Receiving The Holy Spirit Acts 19:2"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? Mark 1:7-8 And this was his message: "After me will come one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." John 1:30-31 This is the one I meant when I said, 'A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' 31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel." Rom 6:3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 11. Acts 19:2, Receiving The Holy Spirit 1 Cor 10:2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 1 Cor 12:13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 12. The Baptism Of The Holy Spirit The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not an add on to Christianity, or some additional experience you should pursue. It is salvation! There is only one Holy Spirit of God, and you cannot have just a part of Him. When He, God, comes into your life, all of Him comes in! I Cor. 12:13 "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body . . . we were all made to drink of one Spirit." I Cor. 6:17 "the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with him." Eph. 4:4-6 "There is one body and one Spirit . . . one hope . . . one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God . . ." The baptism of the Holy Spirit is what brings believers into the body of Christ., and seals us in Him. You cannot be saved and not be baptized in the Spirit, thats an oxymoron. In the Book of Acts communication spread slowly into the world. Resulting in this situation of obedient Jewish people who believe in God, obey His commands, seek Him, yet had not heard that the Messiah had come. Acts records the spread of the gospel. 13. The Baptism Of The Holy Spirit When told of the Messiah's cross and resurrection, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit these few people who lived both before and after the cross, asked to receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 19:2-6 "and he said to them, 'Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?' And they said to him, 'No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.' And Paul said, 'John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, Jesus.' And when they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on (epi) them . . ." (see also Acts 18:24-26). At salvation the Holy Spirit comes into a believers life (all of Him). There is no second or additional baptism. You'll never get more or less of God. Gal. 3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? 14. Acts 19:6, A Holy Spirit Question gracethrufaith.com Q. I have question involving the receiving the Holy Spirit A. In John 20:22 the disciples became the first to receive the Holy Spirit who Paul said would be given to all believers as a deposit guaranteeing their inheritance (Ephesians 1:13-14). Earlier, John had explained that this would begin to happen following the Lords death and resurrection (John 7:37-39). In Acts 2 the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples in power, enabling them to speak to the crowd assembled there in a way that allowed everyone to understand them in his own language. Some scholars call this an epi experience after the Greek word that means to come upon. Its a temporary manifestation of the Holy Spirit that enables the recipient to perform a supernatural act, often as a sign to others. Similar epi experiences are mentioned in Acts 10:44-46 and Acts 19:6. http://gracethrufaith.com/ask-a-bible-teacher/holy-spirit- question/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Gracethrufaith+%28GraceThruFaith%2 9 15.

Acts 19:13 Some Jews Invoking Jesus Acts 19:13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus. Results in; Acts 19:17the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor. Sometimes we are afraid to invoke the name of Jesus, for fear of offending, but; Acts 19:20the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power. 21. Acts 19:15, I Recognize Jesus NAU Acts 19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said to them, "I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?

Acts 19:19, The Value Of Drachmas Acts 19:19When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas. NIV Note d A drachma was a silver coin worth about a day's wages. 50,000 / 365= 137 yrs argurion, Meaning: silvery, by ext. a piece of silverUsage: money(10), pieces of silver(6), silver(5). Notes: 1 Probably fifty thousand Greek drachmas; a drachma approximated a day's wageLuke 15:8 Wal/Zuck say The word translated drachmas is actually argyriou and simply means "silver"; consequently the value of the coins is unknown. But 50,000 silver coins was a large sum. 50,000 / $.10 pre 1965 silver coin = $5000 face value Think; They burnt their computers. Thats closer (DLK). 24. Acts 19:19, The Value Of Drachmas Net Bible Notes say, 65 tn Or "fifty thousand silver drachmas" (about $10,000 US dollars). BDAG 128 s.v. 2.c states, " 50,000 (Attic silver) drachmas Ac 19:19." Another way to express the value would be in sheep: One drachma could buy one sheep. So this many drachmas could purchase a huge flock of sheep. A drachma also equals a denarius, or a day's wage for the average worker. So this amount would be equal to 50,000 work days or in excess of 8,300 weeks of labor 25. Ancient Hellenistic Coins 26.
