Riots in Ephesus


Paul is in EPHESUS
ACTS 19:23-41

A RIOT BREAKS OUT
Because of the Gospel Message

It starts with a silversmith called Demetrius
who made silver statues of the greek goddess - Diana
He made lots of money from this craft

Read verses 25 - 28

 ACTS 19:26
And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that gods made by human hands are no gods at all.

The people of Ephesus wanted to keep their shrines to the greek goddess - Diane
They didn’t like what Paul said about worshipping idols
and that handmade gods ARE NOT GODS!


THERE BUSINESS WAS MORE IMPORTANT


MATTHEW 6:24
No one can serve two masters.
Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve both God and money.
