Now, we get to zoom in and see how God works through individual witnessing in this account of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch. What does this account tell us about the gospel from the Old Testament? How does this account move us to give witness about our Lord Jesus to others?

Pastor Mike Nafziger Sermon: Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch Passage: Acts 8.26-40 Series: Acts: To the End of the Earth June 1, 2025
Simon Hoeppner continues his study on "The Suffering Servant" using the example of Philip who explains the passage of Isaiah 53 to the Ethiopian. Simon teaches that this shows God cares for the individual, not just the many. We are called by the Holy Spirit to be bold and obedient to His prompting, ready to respond to the Gospel.
Eastertide is the season we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection isn't just a one time event to commemorate, it is instead a world altering reality that invites us into a whole new way of living. We see this on full display for the earliest followers of Jesus who found their lives and world upturned by their surprising king who defeated death, sin, and the powers of evil not through violence but love. Jesus' self-sacrificial, other oriented love was vindicated in the resurrection and served as the way of life for early followers.

Sunday 11th May 2025 - West and North SitesSunday 18th May 2025 - Central AM & PMSpeaker - Pete SpiersIn the latest in the “Now Go!” series, Pete examines the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch recorded in Acts 8, and lists some of the barriers that we encounter when we want to share the gospel with others. He highlights the growing openness to faith in society, and encourages us to engage in evangelism through prayer, compassion, and courage._________________Acts 8 v 26-4026) 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 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.'[b]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 travelled 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 baptised?' 38) And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptised 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. 40) Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and travelled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.Recorded at West Site - 11May2025
This week we're reading the story of Philip, and the Ethiopian eunuch as told in Acts 8:26-39. In that story, an angel tells Philip to approach the chariot of an Ethiopian eunuch who is heading home from his visit to the Temple in Jerusalem. When he approaches the chariot, Philip hears the eunuch reading Isaiah 53, one of the songs of the suffering servant. When the eunuch asks Phillip to help him understand, Phillip interprets the gospel for him, leading the eunuch to ask for baptism. We discuss the role of Philip in this text as a human intermediary for the Holy Spirit, going where he is called and meeting people where they are. And we discuss the eunuch, who has been seeking community elsewhere but finally finds full welcome in the community of Christians. And we wrestle with our own offerings of the welcome, and the ways that we, too, can be conduits of the Spirit, knowing when to teach and when to get out of the way.

Acts 8_26-40—Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch by Lettered Streets Covenant
Sunday March 30, 2025 at the Hub City Church The Ethiopian Eunuch | Acts 8:26-40 The Gospel for All | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: In the gospels, Jesus teaches that the MAIN OBJECTIVE for His DISCIPLES is to FIND LOST PEOPLE in their PROXIMITY who NEED to hear the GOOD NEWS! Luke 19:10 // Matthew 9:13, 37-38 // Mark 16:15-16 // John 20:21 “…Making disciples is fairly easy. You simply bring people along in your spiritual journey. Making disciples is more about intentionality than technique: Discipleship means teaching others to read the Bible the way you read it, pray the way you pray, and tell people about Jesus the way you do. If you have Christian habits in your life worth imitating, you can be a disciple-maker. It doesn't require years of training. You just teach others to follow Christ as you follow Him.” — J.D. Greear The Ethiopian Eunuch - Portrait of Newborn Christian: 1. HUNGRY to KNOW GOD 2. HUMBLED to CONFESS the NEED for HELP 3. A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of the GOSPEL 4.

It's a phrase that is heard often, 'It's important to have a biblical worldview.' But what exactly does that mean? How is it lived out in everyday life? Dr. Michael Rydelnik is Academic Dean and Professor of Bible and Jewish Studies at Moody Bible Institute addresses that question using the secular and biblical approaches to marriage. Michael also answers questions about the origins of the Seder Dinner, the Ethiopian Eunuch, and approaching the symbolism in Revelation and the literal expression they represent.

Fr. Mike focuses on the story of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch and how it demonstrates the importance of having guidance when reading Scripture. Although God's Word is infallible, we can easily misunderstand it without proper interpretation, which is why we have the Magisterium of the Church. Lastly, Fr. Mike also touches on the role of persecution in the life of the Church, and St. Paul's encouragement to abide by the law of love. Today we read Acts 8, Romans 13-14, and Proverbs 27:15-17.
