This message also ties in a Fourth of July reflection on George Washington and the founding of the United States, then turns back to Scripture with a clear warning about spiritual conflict, mob mentality, and the danger of emotion without truth. Alan breaks down the riot in Ephesus, the role of Alexander, the crowd shouting for Diana of the Ephesians, and the pressure that comes when the gospel confronts false worship and economic interests.

If you want a straight Bible study that stays in the text while pressing into practical application, this episode is for you. It challenges believers to think carefully about influence, obedience, responsibility, and what happens when God opens a door that leads to real change.

Watch this lesson for a grounded study of Acts 19, Paul's missionary journey, and the call to live with spiritual awareness in a confused culture.

#BookOfActs #Acts19 #BibleStudy #PaulTheApostle #ChristianTeaching

This message moves through Charles Finney, the Second Great Awakening, and the shift away from rigid Calvinism toward the clear call of the gospel. It also covers progressive revelation, the law of last mention, and why Scripture has to be read in context, not pulled apart verse by verse. Along the way, Alan Smith talks about the role of the Holy Spirit, the baptism of the Spirit, the need for discernment, and why believers should test what they hear against the Word of God.

You'll also hear a strong challenge about personal responsibility in the faith. God opens doors, but open doors bring influence, and influence brings accountability. That truth sits at the center of this teaching. If you've ever wanted a clearer view of how the early church, revival history, and present-day Christian life connect, this study gives you plenty to think about.

Watch closely, take notes, and compare everything with Scripture.

#BookOfActs #PaulsWritings #CharlesFinney #HolySpirit #ChristianTeaching

In this message, Alan Smith walks through Acts 19:30-41 and draws out a hard truth many believers miss, people often pray for an open door, but few are ready for what comes with it. The lesson focuses on Paul's courage, the counsel he received from unexpected sources, and the chaos that can follow when a crowd loses sight of the facts.

Before moving into the passage, Allan also gives rich background on John and Charles Wesley, the Great Awakening, and the history behind Methodism. That history matters, because it ties the call to preach, teach, and remain faithful back to the kind of work Paul was doing in Acts. The message also highlights the difference between simply hearing a sermon and actually hearing the Word of God.

As the teaching moves into Ephesus, the discussion turns to the theater, the riot, and the public uproar around Paul's message. Alan points out how influence creates accountability, how mob thinking spreads, and why believers need discernment when emotion takes over. He also presses an important warning about speculation, spiritual pride, and confusing noise with truth.

If you want a Bible study that stays close to Scripture while also bringing in church history, personal application, and straight talk about faithfulness, this lesson will give you plenty to think about. The main call is clear, when God opens a door, the question is whether we'll move in obedience and stay faithful with what He has given.

#BookOfActs #Acts19 #BibleStudy #NewLifeChurch #PaulTheApostle

This teaching keeps the focus on a simple but hard truth, the gospel changes people, and changed people affect the world around them. From Demetrius and the silver shrines of Artemis to the growing tension in the great theater at Ephesus, the passage shows how quickly truth can shake a city built on lies. Alan also connects the text to real life, calling believers to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit, faithful in their place, and ready to stand for Christ with wisdom.

You'll hear a clear walk through Acts 19:26-41, along with practical insight on idolatry, spiritual calling, cultural pressure, and what it means to let the gospel shape both belief and behavior. This is a strong reminder that every believer has a part in the body of Christ, and that showing up matters.

If you want a deeper study of Acts, a biblical look at the first-century church, and a message that speaks directly to faith in everyday life, this teaching is for you.

Join us for worship, study, and a fresh look at how Paul faced opposition without backing down from the truth.

#BookOfActs #Acts19 #BibleStudy #NewLifeChurch #TheSmithAndRowlandShow

In this lesson, the focus moves through Paul's work in Ephesus, the conflict around idol worship, and the role of the town clerk in calming the crowd. Along the way, the message turns to Gilbert Tennant, the First Great Awakening, and the urgent call for real conversion, not just religious knowledge.

This teaching presses on a simple point: if a person has been born again, their life should keep changing. The sermon draws a sharp line between old habits and a Spirit-led life, then brings that truth into everyday living. Focus matters. Repentance matters. What you keep your eyes on will shape where your life goes next.

You'll also hear strong emphasis on the difference between knowing about God and walking with Him. The message connects Acts, revival history, and practical Christian living in a way that keeps the text front and center. If you want a Bible study that is plainspoken, urgent, and grounded in Scripture, this one gives you a lot to think about.

Watch as we continue Lesson 116 in Acts 19, with teaching that challenges believers to stay awake, stay focused, and keep moving toward who God has called them to be.

#BookOfActs #BibleStudy #Acts19 #GreatAwakening #ChristianTeaching

The message calls Christians to stay teachable, stay humble, and keep faith in Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Alan warns against deception, especially the kind that comes from thinking we already know everything. He also talks about the love of God as something the Holy Spirit gives, not something we produce on our own. That same love shapes how believers treat other people, how they approach God's Word, and how they respond when their own opinions get tested.

This teaching also connects Daniel 10 and 12 with the idea of spiritual warfare and delayed answers to prayer. Michael's role as a protector is brought into view as a reminder that God defends His people even when the battle is hidden. Prayer, perseverance, and discernment are central themes throughout the message.

Alan also revisits the relationship between George Whitefield and Benjamin Franklin, and how their work helped shape the Great Awakening and American history. He then draws a line between the gospel's effect in Ephesus and the push back believers still face today when truth confronts false worship and false systems.

If you want a teaching that challenges pride, strengthens faith, and keeps the focus on the authority of God's Word, this message is worth your time.

Watch, think, and compare everything to Scripture.

#BookOfActs #Daniel10 #SpiritualWarfare #BibleTeaching #TheSmithAndRowlandShow

This message begins with a powerful look at George Whitefield, the Great Awakening, and the way preaching was taken outside the walls of the church. From prison cells to courthouse steps, Whitefield's ministry showed how the gospel can reach a crowd when the Word of God is preached with fire and clarity. That history sets the stage for a deeper study of Acts, Paul, and the reality of spiritual resistance.

The main focus of this lesson is spiritual pushback. When Paul faced opposition in Ephesus, he was dealing with more than human conflict. Scripture shows that unseen forces work against the purpose of God, and believers need to know how to stand. Ephesians 6 comes into view here, with the call to put on the whole armor of God, resist the devil, and stand firm in truth, righteousness, faith, and prayer.

This teaching also points to Daniel 10, the prince of Persia, and the ministry of Michael, the archangel. It brings that passage into a clear view of spiritual warfare and the battle behind the scenes. The message is direct, God defends His people, evil is active, and believers are called to stand with courage.

If you've ever felt resistance in prayer, confusion around a decision, or pressure that seemed bigger than the moment, this lesson will speak to you. It calls every believer to keep moving forward in faith, to trust the Word, and to stay anchored in Jesus.

Watch now and strengthen your understanding of Acts, Paul's ministry, and the spiritual battle that still affects believers today.

#Acts #Paul #Jesus #BibleTeaching #SpiritualWarfare

This Sermon looks at Acts 19:23-41 and the uproar that broke out in Ephesus when the gospel started colliding with money, idols, pride, and power. The message connects the story of Paul with the real battles believers face today, then pushes the conversation further into the idea of spiritual resistance, personal failure, repentance, and the work God still does in our lives.

Along the way, this teaching also ties into the church's 250-year celebration and the call to prayer at the National Mall. It uses the beauty and symbolism of Siena Cathedral to point back to a bigger truth, people can build impressive things with their hands, but only God changes the heart. The floor, the stones, the art, and the history all become part of a larger lesson about worship, witness, and what really matters.

If you've been following the Acts series, this episode brings a strong reminder that the gospel still disrupts false comfort. It still challenges culture. It still exposes what people trust in. And it still calls God's people to stand firm, live clean, and keep moving with purpose.

Watch, reflect, and take in the message for yourself. If this teaching helps you, share it with someone who needs a fresh look at Acts, Paul, and the life-changing power of the gospel.

Welcome to New Life Church with Alan Smith.

Alan Smith walks through the silver-smiths' riot, Demetrius' reaction to lost profit, and the larger question behind it all, what happens when God's word starts pressing against a culture built on false worship? He also connects this passage to first fruits, giving God your best, and why a believer's life should have an effect beyond personal comfort.

The message also moves into Daniel 10 and the prince of Persia, showing how Scripture reveals unseen resistance behind visible events. That discussion brings Acts, Daniel, Ephesians 6:12, and current world events into the same frame, with a clear focus on spiritual warfare, prayer, and the reality of principalities and powers.

If you want a Bible teaching that is direct, detailed, and rooted in the text, this one brings together history, prophecy, church life, and practical faith. It also points back to the mission of the Church, live with conviction, give God your first and best, and let the word of God shape how you see the world.

Watch through to the end for a strong prayer and a clear reminder that different believers have different assignments, but all of us need the same truth.

#Acts #Paul #Church #BibleStudy #ChristianTeaching

This message moves through Acts 19 and shows how the preaching of Jesus brought real pressure to the status quo. The silversmiths in Ephesus pushed back because the gospel changed lives and hurt their business. At the same time, the passage points to repentance, public confession, and the cost of leaving old practices behind.

Alan also draws a strong line from Scripture to the life of the Church today. He talks about Paul purposing in the Spirit, the role of mission planning, and what it means when God interrupts our plans with something we didn't expect. That theme runs through the message, along with a direct call to test what is said against the Word of God, like the Bereans did.

This teaching also touches on Martin Luther, the Protestant Reformation, the power of public witness, and the need for respect, truth, and spiritual discernment in the Church. If you want a Bible study that stays in the text, connects Acts to real life, and calls believers to stand firm, this video is for you.

Watch, take notes, and weigh the Scriptures carefully. The Lord is still at work, and His Word still confronts culture, convicts hearts, and points people to Christ.

Today's teaching opens a new series called "Cathedral" and ties it to the symbols God uses all around us. A cathedral is more than a building, and the same is true of the believer. Scripture says your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, so this study presses that truth into plain view.

You'll hear a clear look at the failed attempt by the sons of Sceva, the public burning of sorcery books, and the way fear fell on the city. The message stays focused on what Acts actually shows, a people who turned from occult practices, honored the Lord Jesus, and let repentance shape their lives.

This is a strong word for the Church today. It calls for respect, honesty, and a real walk with God, not empty talk or showmanship. It also keeps the focus where it belongs, on Jesus, not on methods, formulas, or performance.

If you want a straight study of Acts with Paul's writings in view, this episode gives you plenty to think about. Watch closely, compare the Scripture, and test everything by the Word.

Lesson 109 in this study of Acts with Paul's writings follows Paul in Ephesus and focuses on the "special miracles" God worked through him. This message also moves into one of the most striking moments in the chapter, when the sons of Sceva try to use Jesus' name like a formula and pay for it. As a result, the teaching presses into spiritual authority, obedience, faith, repentance, and the danger of treating holy things like tools.

This Bible study looks closely at why handkerchiefs and aprons appear in Acts, why that detail matters, and how God can use simple acts of obedience as a point of contact for faith. It also shows the difference between trusting Christ and trying to borrow power without knowing Him. That contrast sits at the center of the passage.

Along the way, this lesson connects Paul's ministry to the life of the Church today. It speaks to prayer for the sick, spiritual warfare, the fear of the Lord, and the need for a genuine walk with Jesus. It also deals with public repentance in Ephesus, the burning of occult items, and the way revival can break out after a public failure just as easily as after a miracle.

If you're studying Acts, the ministry of Paul, or the role of the Church in spiritual battle, this message gives you a lot to think through. It's direct, Scripture-centered, and full of strong teaching from Acts 19.

Watch, study, and test everything by the Word.

#Acts19 #Paul #BibleStudy #Church #BookOfActs

Lesson 108 follows Paul as he starts in the synagogue, then moves to the school of Tyrannus after resistance rises. That shift matters. It shows wisdom, patience, and a clear pattern for ministry. Paul doesn't back down, but he also doesn't keep new believers in a hostile setting. Instead, he teaches daily, and over time the Word spreads far beyond one room, one group, or one city.

This message also highlights Christian apologetics in a simple, biblical way. Paul reasoned, persuaded, and defended the faith with truth. At the same time, the lesson points to something many people overlook, obedience over spectacle. Real gospel growth often comes through steady believers, daily faithfulness, and clear teaching rooted in Scripture.

Then Acts 19 takes a striking turn with special miracles. Handkerchiefs and aprons connected to Paul become points of contact for healing and deliverance. That part of the chapter challenges a purely natural mindset and presses into a deeper truth, God can work through ordinary things when people respond in faith and obedience.

If you're studying Acts, Paul's ministry, revival in Ephesus, spiritual gifts, healing, or the authority of Jesus over disease and evil spirits, this lesson gives strong biblical insight with practical application for the church today.

Watch, take notes, and read along in Acts 19. This chapter has a lot to say about truth, endurance, opposition, unity, and the spread of the gospel.

In this Easter message, Alan Smith traces the events of Resurrection Sunday and the 40 days that followed. Moving through Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and 1 Corinthians, he shows how the witnesses, the empty tomb, and Jesus' post-resurrection appearances all point to one truth, Jesus is alive.

This sermon centers on more than the fact of the resurrection. It presses into what it means to recognize the Resurrected Christ, hear His voice, trust His word, and walk in the power of what happened after the cross. Along the way, it highlights Mary Magdalene, Thomas, the road to Emmaus, the disciples' struggle to believe, and the hope found in fresh revelation from God's Word.

If you've ever known the message of Jesus but felt distant from the life and power of the resurrection, this teaching is worth your time. It's a strong biblical look at Easter, faith, forgiveness, and the difference between hearing the truth and truly receiving it.

You'll hear about: the resurrection accounts across all four Gospels, the timeline of Jesus after Easter, why the empty tomb still matters, how unbelief can block spiritual sight, and what it looks like to find the Resurrected Jesus today.

Watch, reflect, and share this with someone who needs a clear and Scripture-grounded Easter message.

#Easter #Jesus #ResurrectionSunday #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching

Lesson 107 continues this study through Acts with Paul's writings, centering on Acts 19 and Paul's ministry in Ephesus. This message looks closely at the laying on of hands, speaking in tongues, spiritual witness, and the connection between outward obedience and what God does in the unseen.

Along the way, this teaching also covers: Paul's encounter with the 12 men in Ephesus, why symbols in Scripture matter, how faith and obedience work together, the difference between the act itself and God's power, why the Holy Spirit is not a side issue in the Christian life, and how Jesus still transforms people through His Spirit.

There's also strong insight on repentance, humility, impartation, progressive revelation, and the need for discernment in the church today. In addition, the message highlights how Paul taught in the synagogue, reasoned with people, and used persuasion to present the kingdom of God.

If you're studying Acts, Paul, miracles, the Holy Spirit, or the life of Jesus in the early church, this lesson gives a thoughtful and practical look at a key chapter.

Watch, listen, and follow along in Acts 19.

In this message from Acts 19, Alan Smith walks through Paul's encounter with believers in Ephesus and shows how God often leads His people by steps, not all at once. This study looks at baptism, the Holy Spirit, obedience, faith, and why spiritual growth in the Church is often progressive.

As Paul teaches in Acts, the focus isn't on everyone having the same story at the same time. Instead, it's about believing what God has said, responding to it, and then moving forward as He gives more light. That truth speaks straight into daily life, especially when fear, noise, and old thought patterns try to set the tone for the day.

This lesson also touches on: how your soul talks to you, and why you must answer it with truth, why faith grows through obedience, how Paul's writings help explain Acts 19, why believers should stop judging each other's walk, and what it means to be faithful to the revelation God has already given you.

If you're studying Acts, following Paul's ministry, or looking for solid Bible teaching that connects scripture to real life in the Church, this message will give you a lot to think about.

From New Life Church with Alan Smith.

#Acts19 #Paul #BookOfActs #HolySpirit #ChurchSermon

In Lesson 104 (Acts 19:4-7), Paul arrives in Ephesus and meets disciples who only know John's baptism of repentance. They haven't even heard of the Holy Ghost, so Paul fills in the gap. They respond right away, they're baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, and then Paul lays hands on them. As a result, the Holy Spirit comes on them, and they speak in tongues and prophesy.

This teaching also keeps things practical. It highlights why a teachable spirit matters, how we can learn the gospel in "pieces" over a lifetime, and why obedience often comes before you feel faith. You'll also hear thoughts on impartation, the laying on of hands, and why chasing a "fake" spiritual gift costs more than waiting on God.

Recorded at Church with Alan Smith, from The Smith and Rowland Show.

#Acts #HolySpirit #BibleStudy #Church #Paul

The focus stays on Acts 19:1-7 and Paul's steady gospel work in Ephesus. You'll hear a clear case for keeping the message centered on Jesus Christ, His death, burial, and resurrection, then trusting the Holy Spirit to confirm that gospel with His own witness.

This session also connects Acts with Paul's writings, especially Ephesians 5:18. The call is simple and demanding, don't run on yesterday's strength, keep on being filled. Along the way, this teaching presses a key contrast many believers feel but rarely name, you can be on the right side of Easter (pardon) and still live on the wrong side of Pentecost (power).

Topics covered in this lesson:

 * Acts 19:1-7, the disciples of John become Christians  * Why Paul preached Christ plainly, not hype  * The Holy Spirit as witness to the gospel  * "Be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18), ongoing, daily dependence  * Why spiritual frustration often points to living in your own strength  * The difference between being saved and being empowered to live the Christian life

This teaching keeps it plain and practical. It connects everyday life to spiritual growth, then walks through Scripture to show why understanding matters. Faith matters but understanding produces fruit. You'll also hear a clear breakdown of what happens once, and what must keep happening as you press into God's presence.

In this message: Paul's approach in Acts, teaching for understanding, not pressure or hype

Why Matthew 13 ties fruitfulness to understanding the Word

Faith plus understanding equals wisdom

One-time works of the Spirit (born, baptized into the body, indwelt, sealed)

Ongoing filling (Ephesians 5:18) and what it looks like in real life

Why New Life values character over talent, and Christ over personalities

If you want a stronger grasp of Acts, Paul's method, and how the Holy Spirit works in the life of a believer, this lesson will help you steady your footing and grow with patience.

You'll also hear why God holds us responsible for the light we've received, how obedience ties to growth, and why humility and mentorship matter in the Church (through Priscilla and Aquila's example). The message closes by clarifying key ways Scripture speaks about the Holy Spirit, including the new birth, baptism into the body, indwelling, sealing, and the ongoing filling of the Spirit.

You’ll also hear a strong call to daily spiritual nourishment, why the Church gathers, and what real strengthening looks like (not hype, but steady growth, endurance, and stability). The teaching closes with Acts 18:24-28 and Apollos in Ephesus, a gifted teacher who knew the Scriptures and the baptism of John but needed fuller instruction.

#Acts #ApostlePaul #BookOfActs #BibleStudy #Church

You’ll hear practical teaching from key passages, including Philippians 4:8, Colossians 3:2, and 2 Corinthians 10:5, on taking thoughts captive, setting your mind on things above, and rejecting vain imaginations. The sermon also draws a sharp line between rude speech and truthful clarity, because real kingdom thinking can bring conviction without cruelty.

Key moments include the beating of Sosthenes before Gallio and what that teaches about contempt, public disputes, and the cost of standing too close to someone else’s fight. There’s also clear counsel for believers living in tense times, keep your speech peaceable, tell the truth without exaggeration, don’t repay insult with insult, and trust God with outcomes you can’t control.

The study also tracks Paul’s vow, his disciplined private devotion, and the travel notes that show how long-term faithfulness works, teach, endure, leave well, follow up, repeat. Paul reaches Ephesus, reasons in the synagogue, then moves on with purpose, leaving truth behind and returning when God allows.

#Acts #Paul #BibleStudy #BookOfActs #ChristianDiscipleship

You’ll also hear a practical warning about chasing “deep” spiritual topics without the understanding to match. The gospel is simple and strong, and it’s easy to lose the point when pride or curiosity takes the lead. The call is clear, stick to the mission, keep the message plain, and let truth shape a steady witness.

This session follows Paul in Corinth as he faces rejection, keeps preaching, and receives a night vision that gives him clear direction: don’t fear, speak up, and stay steady because the Lord is with him. You’ll also see why Paul remained in the city for a year and six months, and how the mission of the Great Commission brings unity to the church when it stays central.

The teaching closes with Paul brought before Gallio, a tense moment that shows how fast pressure can rise, and why accusations, suspicion, and religious games can’t be allowed to steer the church off course.

#BookOfActs #ApostlePaul #Acts18 #BibleStudy #ChristianTeaching

You’ll hear a direct challenge to stay on mission, keep unity tied to the mission, and measure success by faithfulness, not a scoreboard. The message also shares a practical next step for our Church family, including expanded Sunday morning classes and a proposed building addition to support discipleship, prayer, baptism, and ministry for the next generation.

If you’re hungry for a focused, Bible-shaped view of Christianity and what the Church is meant to do, this is for you.

You’ll also see how Acts connects with Paul’s earliest letters. From Corinth, Paul writes 1 and 2 Thessalonians, giving the church clarity on holy living, steady hope, and the difference between the day of Christ and the day of the Lord. The message lands close to home too, sin still has patterns, and the call to live set apart still stands.

#Acts #Paul #Corinth #BibleStudy #BookOfActs

The teaching closes by setting the stage for Acts 18, Paul’s move from Athens to Corinth, and the early foundation he laid for new believers.

#Acts #Paul #Jesus #BibleStudy #ChristmasService

We also walk through how Acts links Israel, the church, and the Holy Spirit, why the Holy Spirit is the mark of this age of grace, and what it means to wait on God instead of chasing spiritual shortcuts. If you long for a deeper encounter with Jesus and a clearer sense of His presence in your daily life, this teaching will help you anchor that desire in Scripture and truth.

Pastor Alan traces how DL Moody’s devotion to the Word, the meaning of the word “Hamas” in the Bible, and the future of Israel all tie into God’s plan to judge the world by Jesus Christ. We see how Paul reasoned with the thinkers of Athens, how God made all nations of one blood, and why changing biblical terms slowly weakens an entire people, like the frog in the pot.

This teaching also shares vision for the local church: growing with purpose, carrying the presence of God, and raising our expectation so high that those living in sin or deep hurt are convicted and healed simply by being among God’s people. If you want a stronger faith, a higher view of Scripture, and a deeper hunger for God’s presence, this message will help reset your focus.
