Are You Using Jesus or Actually Knowing Him?

Sam DeSocio | 4/19/26 | Acts 19:11-20

What if you've been logging into faith with someone else's password? In this message from Acts 19, Pastor Sam DeSocio unpacks one of the strangest and most revealing stories in the Bible — the sons of Sceva, a group of Jewish exorcists who tried to use the name of Jesus without actually knowing him. The result was catastrophic, and the fallout shook an entire city. But out of that chaos came something beautiful: a community of people who got serious about their faith, confessed what they'd been holding onto, and counted the cost of real transformation. This message asks the question that every one of us needs to sit with: do I know Jesus, or am I just using him?
