Episode Details

We have all seen riots through media, or perhaps even in person. It is frightening because a riot is all passion with no room for reason. Riots give vent to anger and violence without regard for consequence. Dr. John looks at the riot in Ephesus and offers a Christian response to the enflamed actions of an unruly mob. Dr. John highlights the role of the courts and the need to pray for authorities in our land.

Jesus Goes Global: Confronting the Power Base: How did Christianity go from a localized faith in Jerusalem to become the dominant faith in all of Rome? In this series, Dr. John teaches from Acts 16-20 and demonstrates the progress of Christianity through Paul and his companions. Dr. John demonstrates that the truth of the gospel and the power of the Spirit, carried by frail but obedient people, could not be stopped. The lessons of those days become encouragement for ours.
