Pentecost For The Samaritans
Contributed by J. Yeargin on Sep 2, 2004 (message contributor)
Summary: Short outline for a devotional setting.
Prophesied by Jesus – Acts 1:8
Fulfilled by Phillip – Acts 8:5
Conditions in Samaria:
Simon the Sorcerer – vs. 9 - 11
Phillip preached Christ – Vs. 5
The multitudes reacted:
1. Accepted the Word
2. Unified into one accord
3. Experienced miracles
4. Many were delivered
5. Many were healed
6.“Great Joy in that city”
7. Both men and women were baptized
(including the sorcerer)
The “Good News” gets back to Jerusalem – vs. 14
Peter and John are sent to Samaria
“HE”, the Holy Spirit, had not “fallen” on them
Subsequence of the Holy Spirit:
1. Peter and John lay hands on them
2. The Samaritans receive the Holy Spirit
