The gospel is the hope of the world. As we read the Scriptures, we see the overarching themes of God’s providence, power and provision to reconcile mankind and the created world to Himself through the Person and work of Jesus Christ. In light of this, we aim to be explicitly gospel-centered in all that we preach, teach and practice. Sermon audio and video from Redemption Hill Church, San Antonio, Texas

<p>Acts 19:1-20 (Part 1): Paul finally arrives in Ephesus, the gateway city to Asia. He finds disciples who only knew John's baptism. "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They hadn't even heard of the Holy Spirit.</p><p>Paul explains: John pointed to the one coming after him, <strong>that is Jesus.</strong> They're baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Paul lays hands on them. The Holy Spirit comes. They speak in tongues and prophesy, about 12 men in all.</p><p><strong>This is the fourth and final Pentecostal outpouring in Acts:</strong> Jerusalem (Jews) → Samaria → Cornelius (God-fearers) → Ephesus (ends of the earth). The sign gift confirms the gospel is universal, for every people on earth.</p><p>Paul reasons in the synagogue for three months. When opposition rises, he withdraws to the <strong>Hall of Tyrannus</strong> and teaches daily for two years. All of Asia hears the word.</p><p><strong>Ephesus becomes one of the most important churches in the New Testament.</strong> Mary, Timothy, and John the Apostle would eventually minister there.</p><p><strong>Return to your first love.</strong> (Revelation 2:4)</p><p>#Acts19 #Ephesus #HolySpirit #EndsOfTheEarth #HallOfTyrannus #ReturnToYourFirstLove #JohnsBaptism #Pentecost #RedemptionHillChurch</p>

<p>Week 54 in Acts. Baptism Sunday!</p><p>Acts 18:18-28: Paul is "in transit," traveling from Corinth through Ephesus, Caesarea, Antioch, and back through Galatia. A bridge text. But Luke is showing us something profound: discipleship in motion.</p><p><br></p><p>Paul takes Aquila and Priscilla with him. He greets the church (encouraging them with stories of God's faithfulness). He strengthens disciples wherever he goes. "He greatly helped those who through grace had believed." What a tombstone epitaph.</p><p><br></p><p>The Great Commission isn't just about making converts, it's about making disciples who make disciples. A renewal of the creation mandate: not just multiplying people, but creating worshipers of God who bear His image.</p><p><br></p><p>You are the link in a chain of God's grace extending to someone else. Not might be. Not maybe. ARE.</p><p>Apollos preaches eloquently but incompletely. Aquila and Priscilla take him aside with compassion. They disciple him. He goes to Corinth and likely disciples Sosthenes, who becomes co-author of 1 Corinthians.</p><p><br></p><p>Paul planted. Apollos watered. God gave the growth.</p><p><br></p><p>#Acts18 #MakeDisciples #GreatCommission #Apollos #AquilaAndPriscilla #PassTheTorch #RedemptionHillChurch</p>

<p>Week 52 in Acts! Halfway through the book.Acts 18:1-17: Paul leaves Athens and arrives in Corinth—a city so steeped in debauchery that "to live like a Corinthian" became Greek slang for moral corruption. The church wasn't planted in a place that degenerated—it was planted in the cesspool itself.There Paul meets Aquila and Priscilla, the New Testament's most beautiful picture of unified marriage. Always mentioned together. Tentmakers by trade, missionaries by calling. Their tent-making fueled their mission—not the other way around. Your work is sacred when done unto the Lord.But Luke's bigger purpose? Verifiable historical details. Claudius (4th Roman emperor, AD 41-54), expelled the Jews from Rome in AD 49 (confirmed by Suetonius). Gallio (proconsul of Achaia, AD 51-52, brother of Seneca the Younger). These timestamps anchor the gospel in real history.Luke 1:1-4: He wrote so you would have certainty (asphalion = locked-down assurance) in what you've been taught. The gospel either happened or it didn't. If it did, Jesus is the Messiah.#Acts18 #Corinth #AquilaAndPriscilla #UnifiedMission #Certainty #LockedDownAssurance #ChristAndHimCrucified #WorkIsSacred #RedemptionHillChurch</p>
