On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine. A study in Romans will show us the New Testament doctrines of salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, predestination, adoption, regeneration, and glorification. Remember the Ethiopian eunuch from our study in the Book of Acts? He got saved with salvation by grace through faith by reading in the book of Isaiah. Another salient point to keep in mind that Paul is the apostle to the Romans, and not Peter as the Roman Catholic church falsely claims he is. There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: Chapter 6 in the book of Romans is all about the sanctification of the believer as they now seek to navigate this new Christian life they have been born again into. Paul is very clear about the necessity of battling sin on a daily basis, this is the ‘good fight' of the believer, one that never ends until the day we meet the Lord Jesus Christ face to face. Strong meat for sure.

Crispin shares from Acts 8:26 - 40 about Philip's encounter with the Ethiopian and how we can bring God's word to the lost if we listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

Do you have questions about Christianity? Do you want to know who Jesus really is and why he is important? Or maybe you have questions about the Bible or God? Today we hear about a first century 'Christianity Explored' that took place with Philip, a follower of Jesus, explaining the Christian faith to an Ethiopian. Now in the 21st Century don't miss your chance to hear who Jesus is. You are warmly welcome to join us on Thursday 18th September at Knockbain Free Church to find out more...

God called Philip onto a desert road, not knowing what he would find—but there he met the Ethiopian eunuch, and a nation was touched. In this powerful message, discover how God calls us into uncomfortable, uncertain places so that His purposes can unfold.

The Book of Romans in your King James Bible is one of the most-powerful pieces of scripture in the New Testament, a book that is heavily built on the writings of the prophet Isaiah and applied to Christians in the Church Age. Reading Romans can be like a really good Fourth of July fireworks display, it can also hit you like an IED and run you right off the road. Where you wind up depends on how you start, and we highly recommend a rightly divided and dispensational approach to navigating it.“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 1:7 (KJB)On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we begin our look at the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Romans, and settle in to learn some hardcore, strong meat Bible doctrine. A study in Romans will show us the New Testament doctrines of salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, predestination, adoption, regeneration, and glorification.

Another salient point to keep in mind that Paul is the apostle to the Romans, and not Peter as the Roman Catholic church falsely claims he is. There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: Tonight we find ourselves in chapter 5 of the book of Romans, and Paul continues his masterclass on biblical justification. Justification means that the believers has the imparted righteousness of Jesus Christ, and therefore is justified in the sight of God. Paul pointes out repeatedly that the only thing we add to our salvation is the sin that made it necessary. This is Part #5 in a series.

Would Your Parents Approve This Marriage? | Ethiopian Reddits (The COUSIN CHRONICLES)In this episode, I sit down with my cousins Remy and Zebilon to dive into some WILD Ethiopian Reddit posts about dating, relationships, and culture.What starts as a story about a 27-year-old Ethiopian woman and a 22-year-old American guy quickly spirals into a bigger conversation — from whether wanting to meet his kid too early is a red flag, to interracial marriage, to dating across different Ethiopian and Eritrean regions.We break down the cultural expectations, the awkward moments, and the real debates people have when it comes to love, family, and tradition.If you've ever wondered how Habeshas view interracial relationships, what it's like navigating age gaps, or how regional differences play into dating, this one's for you.SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/@thebriefdivepodcast/videos?sub_confirmation=1LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2cPd9uVZqjmEmM9VF0zuGg?si=ef2246bd89c34b4APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brief-dive/id1551664039FOLLOW ON:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thebriefdive?igsh=cm5iaWEyazRvMnpySNAPCHAT: https://snapchat.com/t/zzap27fGTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebriefdive?_t=8qIJLtOvM0l&_r=1INTRO MUSIC: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/valmaddoxaero?igsh=MWJraWRoYmE4aXN6Mg==TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@val_maddox_music?_t=ZT-8yRqOSfTGFj&_r=1DISCLAIMER: "The Brief Dive" Podcast represents the opinions of Filimon and his guests who are also not licensed professionals.

Stephen, though opposed and falsely accused, boldly proclaimed Christ and, even in death, reflected Jesus' forgiveness. His martyrdom sparked persecution that scattered believers, spreading the gospel even further. Philip then stepped onto the scene, performing miracles, bringing joy to cities, and sharing the good news with an Ethiopian seeker who was baptized on the spot. The heart of the message is clear: the gospel's power isn't about our eloquence or credentials but about the Holy Spirit working through willing and obedient believers.

Jesus is building his church church by his Spirit through Philip. Philip calls the Ethiopian eunuch, thereby including the Old Testament outcasts to the New Covenant Church.

Do you feel disconnected from your cultural heritage or identity? Tami did - even though she wasn't adopted. She was determined her daughter who was born in Ethiopia would feel connected with her heritage. Listen in as we dive into cultural heritage, identity and more.Here's a bit about Tami from her website:I grew up disconnected from my Dominican and Jamaican roots, always feeling like I wasn't “enough” of anything—not Latina enough, Caribbean enough, not even Black enough. I carried shame, confusion, and uncertainty about whether I even had the right to claim a heritage I barely knew. When I began exploring my roots, there were no guides, no roadmaps, or no one to show me where to start. I had to find my own way—slowly, and in a way that felt authentic to me.When I adopted my Ethiopian-born daughter, I promised she wouldn't grow up with that same disconnection. That promise became my purpose.I'm living this work every day—raising an Ethiopian daughter, caring for my aging mother, and navigating my own Dominican/Jamaican identity, all under one roof in Mexico. I know what this journey really looks like—and I'm here to walk it with you.Now, as a Cultural Heritage Reconnection Coach, I offer the support I once needed. I guide people to rediscover their roots, reclaim pride in who they are, and create a legacy so future generations never have to wonder where they belong.You don't need permission to reconnect.You just need a place to begin—and you don't have to do it alone.https://www.instagram.com/tamideegarcia/https://www.tiktok.com/@tamideegarciahttps://www.tamigarcia.com/https://www.facebook.com/TamiDeeGarcia Guests and the host are not (unless mentioned) licensed pscyho-therapists and speak from their own opinion only.

Not only that, God gave the ‘sign of circumcision' to Abraham, but unto us He gave spiritual circumcision. Paul in Galatians 3 says we are figured with Abraham, but it's not an exact match as you will soon see. This is Part #4 in a series.

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook, I share one of my favorite stories from the book of Acts—a challenge to every believer to “get off the porch” and follow the Holy Spirit into unexpected places. From Philip's revival in Samaria to his lonely walk down a desert road, we see how God sometimes moves us from moments of great success into situations that make no sense at the time—because the miracle is waiting at the end of the road. I also tell a personal story from my early ministry days in Mexico, when I thought I knew where God was sending me, only to hear Him clearly say, “Go home.” This message will encourage you to obey first, trust God's plan, and step into the adventure He has for you. — Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - leaders notebook(00:07:30) - The Persecution of Jesus(00:12:17) - Wonders of Mexico(00:20:07) - Philip the Pharisee vs. God(00:20:49) - God's call to be a missionary in Mexico(00:27:13) - The Message of Philip the Ethiopian

There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: Here in chapter 3 of the book of Romans, Paul shows us a detailed look at the doctrine of justification by faith as opposed to the Law of Moses. What is justification? It renders the believer ‘just as if' they had never sinned, otherwise known as The Great Exchange. You give Jesus your sin, and in exchange for that, He gives you His righteousness rendering you sinless from God's perspective. But remember! There is a judgment coming called the Judgment Seat of Christ, and you will be graded there on your works after salvation. This is Part #3 in a series.

As we read Jesus' parable about the tenants in the vineyard today (Mark 17 v.1-9) and the treatment they meted out to any servants that came to them on behalf of the owner seeking his share of the fruit, our thoughts went quite naturally to what we had just read in Jeremiah who brought from God messages that did not please the leading men of his day.  All the counsellors of the king saw his words as undermining them, they did not accept his version as to the attitude of God towards them despite the fact that his warnings had so far proved true.They “treated him shamefully” putting him in the waterless cistern so that he sank in the mud at the bottom.  (ch. 38 v.4-6).   It is significant that it is a Gentile, an Ethiopian, that alerts the King to his plight and rescues him (v.7-13); this is parallel to some of the experiences of the apostle Paul..Returning to the parable of Jesus we can see its application not only to how the tenants killed Jesus the son of the owner, but to the treatment through the centuries of those who are faithful to the truths God has left on record in the scriptures. How many cling to their own distorted philosophies and, as Paul complained, “exchanged the truth about God for a lie” [Rom. 1 v.25]Our chapter today tells us how Jesus tackled the Sadducees over this.  They deny there is to be a resurrection. Jesus rebukes them saying you “are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God” [v.24] He says that those “who rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.” [v.25]  How vital that we “know … the Scriptures.”On another occasion Jesus said “there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out” [Luke 13 v.28] That it is a literal kingdom on earth is made plain in the next verse, “and people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God.”Together with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will be such as Jeremiah and, most likely, “the scribe” who “answered wisely” – as we read in today's chapter – so that Jesus said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” [v.34] We must each ask ourselves, ‘How far am I from the Kingdom of God?'

1 Kings 12 tells us of Rehoboam's folly following the death of Solomon. Rehoboam fails to heed the wise counsel of the elders and rather harkens to the ridiculous reasoning of his entitled peers. The outcome of this is the division of the kingdom, as prophesied by Ahijah. Jeroboam is termed in scripture "the man who caused Israel to sin". Jeroboam set up two golden calves - the one in the north at Dan; and the other in Beersheba in the south. Rehoboam sent his treasurer to collect the tribute from Israel. But they stoned the treasurer causing Rehoboam to flee in his chariot. Rehoboam then mustered his army but was dissuaded from fighting against his brethren by the prophet Shemaiah who tells the king that the division is from the LORD. To his credit Rehoboam responded to the Word of God and sent the army home. King Jeroboam from the northern branch of the divided kingdom next changes the timing of the feast of worship from the seventh to the eighth month. This idolatrous man made his priests from the lowest of the people. All of this was designed to maintain the division. Jeroboam was fearful that Israel might, if they went to the Feast in Jerusalem, be reconciled to Rehoboam. This 38th chapter of Jeremiah told of the malevolent treatment afforded the prophet at the hands of the treacherous princes casting him into the mire (mud) of the cistern. He was rescued by the kind and faithful Ethiopian, Ebed-melech. Our Sovereign recompensed the Ethiopian eunuch's kindness to Yahweh's prophet. After his deliverance Jeremiah presented his entreaties secretly to the king. Jeremiah again counsels the king to save Judah by surrendering to the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar.Mark 12 begins with the parable of the tenants of the vineyard which spoke of Israel. The parable tells of the constant rejection of God's servants, the prophets; and the ultimate sin of Israel in rejecting the Son of the Father. The nation's wicked rulers saw themselves in Jesus' words and fulfilled the prophecy of our Lord in plotting Jesus' death. Christ's enemies make several attempts to undermine our Lord's authority. The chapter shows that each prominent party posed hypothetical questions. The first was from an alliance of the Herodians, who were pragmatists who were prepared to cooperate with Rome, and the arch enemies of the Herodians - the Pharisees. The question from this unholy alliance was on taxation. The master not only answers majestically, but he directs their minds to God's claims on them. We are next told of the Sadducees posing their question on resurrection. This sect were the priestly class. They were wealthy and used their power to accumulate wealth. The Sadducees did not accept the teaching of the resurrection; nor any of the Scriptures apart from the 5 Books of Moses. These hypocrites were likewise confounded by incontestable proof from Exodus 3 - one of the five writings that were accepted by them - of the raising of the dead. The Scribes with the Pharisees pose a problem to our Lord as to which commandment was the greatest. Jesus answers by showing that the entire message of the Law and the Prophets hung equally on the love of God and the love one's neighbour. Christ then turns the tables on his foes through a simple question in two parts;- 1) whose son is the Messiah (easy they thought - David's of course); and, part 2) how then in Psalm 110 is the Christ spoken of as David's Lord? The inescapable answer was that the Christ, Messiah, was greater because he was the Son of God as well as son of David. The chapter concludes with a denunciation of the Scribes and an object lesson from the widow, who gave all. https://christadelphianvideo.org/christadelphian-daily-readings/

The Ethiopian cannon, the witch of Endor, astrology and more in today's Called to Communion with Dr. David Anders.

“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:3–5 NIV) The sword of the Spirit that the apostle Paul talks about in Ephesians 6 is not only for deflecting a blow from the enemy; it’s also for inflicting one. This is something the devil doesn’t want you to know. He doesn’t want you to start attacking, because if you’re always defending, then he’s in the superior position. But if you’re attacking, then you’re in the superior position. If you have a hard time picturing your Bible as a weapon, look at Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 above. As believers, our battles are spiritual. Standard military weaponry and tactics don’t apply. The battles take place in our hearts and minds. They’re played out in our thoughts, philosophies, priorities, and beliefs. And because the Bible is God’s truth—the ultimate and most powerful source of truth—nothing else can match its impact. It has the power to demolish the excuses, philosophies, reasoning, and arguments that cause people to oppose and reject the Christian faith. As spiritual warriors for Christ, we must confront the lies of this world with the truth of God’s Word. That’s how we wield the sword of the Spirit. We also use it to set the devil’s spiritual captives free. We do that by sharing the gospel with unbelievers using the words of Scripture. In Acts 8, we see this scenario play out in the life of Philip, an early Christian evangelist. Philip ministered in the city of Samaria, where he “told the people there about the Messiah” (verse 5 NLT). As a result, “people believed Philip’s message of Good News concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ” (verse 12 NLT). What looks like evangelism to us is actually spiritual battle. Philip used the Good News to attack the devil’s stronghold in Samaria. In verse 26, an angel of the Lord gave Philip marching orders: “Go south” (NLT). Like a good soldier, Philip obeyed. He found an Ethiopian official who was trying to understand a Bible passage. Philip used the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, to help the man understand the truth about Jesus. Armed only with the words of Scripture, he took the battle to the devil. Make no mistake about it: There is authority and power in the Word of God. My words will fall to the ground, but God’s Word sticks. God’s Word breaks through. We could spend all day trying to defend and explain the Bible, but I have a better idea: Use the sword of the Spirit. That’s what Philip did, and that’s what we need to do as well. Reflection question: In your circle of acquaintances, what are some faulty philosophies, reasoning, and arguments that need to be confronted with the truth of God’s Word?

There is no biblical record that Peter was ever in Rome.TONIGHT'S STUDY: In the second half of Romans 1, Paul gives a blistering rebuke of just about everything so accepted in our day by lukewarm Laodicean Christians. In chapter 2, we see a special emphasis on judging, judgment and the Judgment of God who as Paul will say later, is “no respecter of persons”. Paul ‘lets it fly' on the Jew and the Gentile with equal fervor. This is Part #2 in a Series.

Welcome to *The Forefront Radio*! In this explosive episode, we expose the uncomfortable truth:➡️ Ashkenazi Jews claiming biblical identity—but are they the REAL Israelites?➡️ Or are the true descendants of Israel the **Black people of the African Diaspora**?

[REBROADCAST from Nov. 8, 2024] We air highlights from our conversation with author Dinaw Mengestu who joined us for our October Get Lit with All Of It event. His new book, Someone Like Us, is about a journalist who returns home to his Ethiopian community in D.C. to uncover family secrets and examine his father's sudden death.

Paul is taking no prisoners as he lays out the doctrine, so Catholic, Charismatics, Campbellites and Calvinists be forewarned, you're not going to like it much. But if you're a Bible believer, jump on in, the water's fine!

A profound exploration of two contrasting figures from Acts 8 – Simon the Sorcerer who sought power without surrender, and Philip the Evangelist who demonstrated true spiritual authority through complete obedience to God.• The book of Acts has no ending because the Holy Spirit is still working through surrendered believers today• Simon the Sorcerer represents more than history – he embodies a prophetic warning about pursuing spiritual power for selfish gain• "Simony" became a term in church history for purchasing spiritual authority, which continues in modern forms• Philip demonstrates a life fully surrendered to God's direction, leaving a vibrant revival to minister to one Ethiopian eunuch• True spiritual authority comes through dying to self rather than promoting self• The early church wasn't built on strategic plans but on people possessed by the Holy Spirit• We often pursue God's hand (what He can do for us) while missing His face (who He is)• Christianity without the cross misses the transformative power of being crucified with Christ• Living Galatians 2:20 means recognizing "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me"• The ultimate question: Do we want Simon's show or Philip's surrender?If you're ready to move from ambition to surrender, from seeking power to being possessed by God's Spirit, make that decision today. Come to Jesus not just for what He can do for you, but surrender completely to what He wants to do through you.

Today nearly a third of Ethiopians are Muslims. At around 37 million, that's a larger Muslim population than many Middle Eastern countries. According to Islamic tradition, fourteen centuries ago the first person appointed by the Prophet Muhammad to call Muslims to prayer was an Ethiopian called Bilal ibn Rabbah. Moreover, some of the Prophet's companions sought refuge in the Ethiopian Christian kingdom of Axum. Over the following centuries, Islam spread to other regions and ethnic groups in what is now Ethiopia, developing a rich tradition of manuscript written in Arabic and local languages alike. Using the Arabic script (or more recently the Fidäl script), Islamic manuscripts were written in languages as varied as Somali, Harari, Oromo, Afar and Tigrinya. This episode explores the multilingual manuscripts, Sufi traditions, and modern technologies through which Ethiopia's Muslims have maintained their religious and cultural heritage from the time of Bilal to today.  Nile Green talks to Alessandro Gori, co-editor of The Writings of the Muslim Peoples of Northeastern Africa (Brill, 2022).

MOVE: Week 7 — “Go Where the Spirit Sends” Acts 8:26–40 | Pastor Kevin MullinsWhat if your next assignment from God doesn't make sense on paper? In this message, Pastor Kevin unpacks the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch—a powerful reminder that the Gospel moves through obedience, not convenience. Sometimes the Spirit leads us off the beaten path so we can meet the one. When we follow God's prompting—even into the wilderness—we discover divine appointments, surprising conversations, and fresh opportunities to speak the good news of Jesus.Whether you feel stuck, scattered, or stirred, this message will encourage you to stay open to where the Spirit is sending you next.

We continue our sermon series Summer in the Sand, where we explore how God works in the lives of people navigating sandy and difficult places—just like He did throughout Scripture. From the Israelites wandering the desert to prophets and apostles sent on uncertain journeys, the wilderness has always been a place of challenge and transformation. In this series, we're discovering that God is still at work in our lives today, even when the path ahead seems unclear or uncomfortable. In this sermon, we journey with Philip in Acts chapter 8 as he heads out on the road to Gaza. There, he encounters an Ethiopian dignitary wrestling with questions about God. In a seemingly random moment, God orchestrates a divine appointment that leads to life-changing transformation. Just like Philip, we too are called into unfamiliar or inconvenient situations—places where we may not understand the “why” but are asked to trust and obey. Will we be open to God's leading, or will we cling to comfort and miss His power at work? 

26Nowan angel of the Lord said to Philip, Rise and go toward the south[a]to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert place.27And he rose and went. And there was anEthiopian, aeunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians,who was in charge of all her treasure.He had come to Jerusalem to worship28and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.29And the Spirit said to Philip, Go over and join this chariot.30So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, Do you understand what you are reading?31And he said,How can I, unless someoneguides me? Andhe invited Philip to come up and sit with him.32Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this: Like a sheep he was led to the slaughterand like a lamb before its shearer is silent,so he opens not his mouth.33In hishumiliation justice was denied him.Who can describe his generation?For his life is taken away from the earth. 34And the eunuch said to Philip, About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?35Then Philip opened his mouth, andbeginning with this Scripturehe told him the good news about Jesus.36And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, See, here is water!What prevents me from being baptized?[b]38And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.39And when they came up out of the water,the Spirit of the Lordcarried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing.40But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

Under the approval of a Pharisee named Saul, a great persecution against the church arose in Acts 8. God used the persecution as a catalyst to fulfill the words of Jesus that the disciples would be his witnesses to the end of the earth (Acts 1:8). Listen as Pastor Bryan unpacks this "Church on the Move" and gives insight into the approach of Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch. He then provides a practical method for remembering God's plan for salvation that can be used as we are witnesses in our day. -Featuring Bryan Ost

Acts 8:26-39 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”  27 So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian[a] eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of the Kandake (which means “queen of the Ethiopians”). This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship,  28 and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. 29 The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.” 30 Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked. 31 “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.  33 In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth.” 34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”  35 Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. 36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?”  [37]Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” The eunuch answered, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.  39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing.

What would happen if we responded to the Holy Spirit immediately, without delay or second-guessing? In Running Toward the Holy Spirit, Deidre Braley shares a personal story about missing a divine prompting and contrasts it with Philip’s quick obedience in Acts 8. This powerful devotional reminds us that when the Spirit nudges us—whether it's to speak to a neighbor or extend an act of kindness—we are called not just to go, but to run. This devotional encourages believers to practice spiritual attentiveness and cultivate a “yes” mentality toward God’s promptings. If you’ve ever ignored a gentle nudge or wondered if it was really God speaking, this message is for you. Highlights ✅ Obedience to the Spirit: Philip didn’t wait for more context—he ran in obedience (Acts 8:29-30).✅ God's purpose unfolds in motion: Philip’s mission became clear only after he responded.✅ Every nudge matters: Even small promptings—like saying hello to a neighbor—can have eternal impact.✅ We often hesitate: Like Deidre’s real-life example, we can miss Spirit-led moments by overthinking.✅ Practice spiritual sensitivity: Learn to ask, listen, and act when the Spirit leads.✅ Scripture shows us the pattern: Throughout Acts, believers are used mightily when they respond to the Holy Spirit’s leading.

The Life and Legacy of Haile Selassie: From Emperor to God

In Acts 8, we see a powerful moment where God weaves two stories together—Philip's obedience and the Ethiopian official's search for truth. In this sermon, we're reminded to love people and trust God with the story he's writing. Even when things are hard or unclear, we can obey with confidence, knowing that the author of the big story is the same one guiding our little ones, and his ending is always redemption.

Today on the Walton and Johnson Show, the boys talk about ICE stopping illegal immigrants from trying to vote, and how Disney started pandering to globalism and liberalism.

Greg Jenner is joined by Professor Jonathan Morris and comedian Sophie Duker to learn all about the bittersweet history of coffee.Coffee is undoubtedly one of the most popular drinks worldwide, and we consume an estimated 95 million cups of the stuff everyday in the UK alone. But where does coffee come from, and when did we start enjoying its caffeinated effects? From its origins in medieval Ethiopia and Yemen, through the coffeehouses of the Middle East and Europe, to its central importance to soldiers during the American Civil War, this episode traces the complex history of our favourite beverage. Along the way, it explores the uses people have had for coffee over the years, in religious rituals, as a stimulant to intellectual exchange, and even as a medicine. We also debunk some of the myths that have been brewed up about coffee's history. Did the Pope really call it ‘the devil's brew'? Was it discovered by an Ethiopian goatherd? And did a Dutch man really have to smuggle coffee trees out of Yemen? Listen to find out!This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.
