About this episode

This episode discusses the clash between the Kingdom of God and worldly idols through the lens of Acts 19.

This sermon from Acts 19 explores the clash between the Kingdom of God and the competing kingdoms of this world. Through the riot in Ephesus, it reveals how idols such as wealth, self, and worldly power promise fulfillment but ultimately leave us deceived, confused, and empty. In contrast, Jesus offers a kingdom built on truth, peace, and lasting power through His death, resurrection, and the Holy Spirit. The message challenges us to consider who truly sits on the throne of our lives, calling us to turn from false idols, worship Christ alone, and live each day under the joyful rule and reign of the true King. _____________We are a Church in Brighton that exists to help people know Jesus.
