Remove the Rivals | Acts 19

Passion City Church DCJul 2026

Using Acts 19 and the church at Ephesus, the sermon calls believers to return to their 'first love' for Christ by identifying and removing rivals (secret comforts, addictions, occult practices, anger, sexual sin, screens, etc.). Confession, forsaking those rivals, and mutual accountability unleash God’s power so the gospel can prevail in individuals, churches and communities.
