In Acts 8:26-40, God took Philip from a growing church to a deserted place to talk about Jesus with one African man who came from the ends of the earth. Then God guided Philip to a Scripture text about Jesus. These are the two elements we need in order to evangelize: people and a message about Jesus. To whom is he guiding you today?
The demons revealed that their only purpose is to destroy, while Jesus demonstrated his power to heal and restore.
God's presence in the early church produced awesome acts of community giving and healing but also an awesome judgment against hypocrisy and deception.
After relating terrible events that must happen before Christ’s coming, this text leaves believers with a simple message – Stand Firm!
