Who really has power? Who can be trusted with authority? And what happens when Jesus enters a city built on rival names?

In Acts 19, the gospel confronts confusion, exposes counterfeit spirituality, topples borrowed authority, and provokes costly repentance. Pastor David walks us through five movements in the text:

1️⃣ Confusion — good but incomplete faith 2️⃣ True Authority — the Word of the Lord prevailing 3️⃣ Counterfeits — borrowed authority collapsing 4️⃣ Costly Revival — confession and renunciation 5️⃣ Cultural Collision — idols pushing back 6️⃣ The True Center — life in Jesus’ name alone

This passage reminds us that revival isn’t hype, formulas, or personalities — it’s when the Word of the Lord outgrows the rival names that used to run us.

🔥 You’ll discover: ✅ Why sincerity without surrender has no authority ✅ Why you can’t borrow faith or outsource allegiance ✅ How spiritual substitutes quietly replace Jesus ✅ Why idols always demand more and give less ✅ What it means to renounce rival names and follow Jesus fully
