In week two of In the Arena, Pastor Joby dives into Acts 19 to show us how the same gospel power that dismantled Ephesus’s demonic stronghold still fights for us today.

Paul didn’t bring gimmicks or self-help hacks—he wielded the Spirit to rend magic books worth a fortune, ignite genuine repentance, and spark revival through worship, confession, fellowship, and generosity. But decades later, Ephesus had abandoned its first love. Jesus’s tender rebuke—“Do you love me?”—reminds us that our authority flows not from programs or performance, but from a heart rooted in Christ.

If you’re weary of fighting in your own strength, longing to rekindle passion for Jesus, or ready to wield gospel-fueled weapons against every chain, this sermon will equip you to step into the arena and watch Him move.

In week one of In the Arena, Pastor Britt unpacks 1 Corinthians 15 to show how Jesus didn’t sidestep death—He entered the fight, endured it, and destroyed its power through the resurrection.

We don’t just face death at the end of our lives—we feel its sting every day: in shame, in regret, in broken relationships, in the ache for something more. But Scripture says the last enemy to be destroyed is death—and Jesus already put it under His feet. The resurrection is not just a belief—it’s the cosmic turning point of history. It changes our past, redefines our present, and secures our future. If you're in Christ, you’re not separated—you’re made alive. The question is: Are you in Him?
