Acts Series

Jerusalem Riot

In this sermon, Yuan (Central Service) teaches from Acts 21 – exploring why a Jewish mob violently attacked Paul in Jerusalem. The anger of the crowd stemmed from their fear that Paul’s message undermined their identity and hope, which were rooted in their law and temple. We see how we too can fall prey to this, by making idols of things like achievement and reputation. Instead, true fulfillment comes from shifting our focus from idols to the surpassing worth of Jesus.
