    The Story of Philip ministering to the Ethiopian eunuch teaches us the value God places on each human soul. The world might not treat us as anything special, but we are precious to the Lord.

    Easter 5 Acts 8:26-40 4**-2*-85*5 is a very important number to me. Can you guess what significance there is in those numbers? It’s not a phone number…it’s what Uncle Sam calls me. You see, there are a lot of Peter Schmidts living in the US, and so when I fill out official documents like tax forms ...read more

    One Soul Is Worth It!

    If we like Phillip, not get caught up in preaching the Word to masses, but go to one soul, it is worth it.

    1 SOUL IS WORTH IT Acts 8:1-8, 12-17 & 25-40 Today’s message is having to do with going after the one soul, the one life for Jesus. As believers, we should pursue the salvation of even one soul as we never know what that person’s life will bring about to the glory of God and to His kingdom. ...read more

    Philip Following Divine Direction In The Desert

    God desires to direct His people through His Holy spirit living in us. In Philip you can see a person determined to follow the direction of God no matter where the direction would lead.

    Intro: We see in our passage today that God greatly desires to direct His church by way of the Holy Spirit. You might ask, how does God direct and guide through His Holy Spirit living in us? God speaks, guides and directs His people in so many different ways. Imagine the many different ways ...read more

    The Holy Spirit knows if some one is seeking the Lord. The Holy Spirit knows if some one does not understand the Scriptures. The Holy Spirit sent Phillip to the eunuch and the Holy Spirit will send others!!!

    The Spirit, a preacher and a man! Acts 8:26-40 Acts 8:26 …an angle of the Lord… 1. angle of the Lord… The word angle literally means messenger. In this scripture you could easily read, “Now a messenger of the Lord” and be correct in you reading. The messenger here meant was the Spirit of the ...read more

    Our opportunity for service may be in sight in a moment, and bypass us in another if we’re not ready to run to obedience. Philip ran to do God’s bidding.

    Following the Acts record it would appear that the newborn church had been pretty cozy and comfortable, up until the martyrdom of Stephen. It had begun with a very public demonstration of God’s power in the coming of the Holy Spirit, Peter and the others had boldly proclaimed their risen Lord ...read more

    From the ministry of Jesus and His followers we see the importance of knowing and applying the Word of God to our lives. This sermon gives three word pictures of the Authority of God’s Word.

    God’s Word is Like …. Acts 8:26-40 During the months of May and June I’m preaching on the Authority of God’s Word.

    The Ethiopian Eunuch didn’t understand the Bible until someone explained it to him. The whole Bible points to Jesus’ life death and resurrection.

    In a few minutes we’ll say the creed, as we do most weeks, and we’ll repeat these words almost without thinking: "For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again - in accordance with the Scriptures." I wonder whether we ever stop ...read more
