Gospel City Church

Acts 19:13-20 // Radical Repentance

Some traveling Hebrew exorcists learn the hard way that the name of Jesus is not a magic word or an incantation, and "many" Ephesians turn to Christ after witnessing His power through Paul's ministry in their city. The radical and immediate actions of those new believers remind us just how profound the immediate change produced by the Holy Spirit coming into a person's life is.
