In this episode, we continue our verse-by-verse study through Acts 8, where persecution causes the gospel to spread beyond Jerusalem and God uses Philip the Evangelist to reach Samaria and the Ethiopian eunuch.
In this study, we discuss:
How persecution advanced the gospel
Philip's ministry in Samaria
Simon Magus and the danger of seeking God's power without a changed heart
The coming of the Holy Spirit to the Samaritan believers
Philip sharing Christ with the Ethiopian eunuch
The eunuch's faith and baptism
God's desire for the gospel to reach every nation
Acts 8 reminds us that God can use hardship to accomplish His purposes, and that genuine faith is marked by repentance, humility, and obedience to Jesus Christ.
