Podcasts about Ethiopian eunuch

Are you just consuming God's blessing — or are you carrying it to others? In this powerful message, Dr. Lisa Harper challenges us to move from receiving God's favor to actively sharing it with the world around us.Through Genesis 12, the Great Commission (Matthew 28), and the powerful story of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts 8, Lisa reminds us that we are not called to be reservoirs of blessing — but rivers that flow with the hope of Jesus Christ.

Acts 8

The Vine continues in our series STORIES FROM THE MARGIN with a beautiful passage in Acts 8. In this story, we discover how the Spirit of God moves to the margin so that an Ethiopian Eunuch can experience God's sacred nearness in spite of prescribed religious exclusion. Acts 8:26-39 REFLECTION QUESTIONS: 1. What about the sermon was encouraging, confusing, or challenging? 2. Read the story (Acts 8:26-39) in its entirety. What do you notice? 3. Was this man marginalized? If so, in what ways? 4. What do you see the Holy Spirit doing in this story? 5. In what ways does Philip give us a helpful example of how to share the Gospel? 6. The Book of Acts tells the story of how the movement of Jesus' Kingdom was breaking out of norms, expectations, and religious boundaries. How do you see that in this story? 7. What did you take from the testimony shared on Sunday? 8. What is one way you can follow the example of Philip? What is one way you can follow the example of the eunuch? Spend time in prayer - for those who feel shut out of God's church, presence, or community. Ask for the Spirit to send us to walk with, read with, and share the Good News of Jesus.

In this sermon, Curtis looks at the remarkable story of the Ethiopian Eunuch

Acts 8:26 - 40

What on the surface seems like just another conversion story in the book of Acts is in fact an epiphany of the wideness of the gospel for the world. It was not only a sign that the gospel was spreading to "the ends of the earth," as far as Ethiopia, it also meant that the Gentiles were being incorporated through Christ. This passage has much to teach us about what it means to more radically welcome people and how we might welcome them into the gospel.

This was the question Philip asked the Ethiopian Eunuch; he was one of the seven appointed to assist the 12 disciples (Acts 6 v.2,4); Stephen who was killed was also one of them.“An angel of the Lord” (8 v.26) caused Philip to go up and meet with this Ethiopian as he was returning from worshipping in Jerusalem.(v.28} which shows he was a genuine God fearing man – and as he travelled, he was reading God's word and puzzling over a person he was reading about in the book of Isaiah who was “like a lamb before its shearer is silent … in his humiliation justice was denied him.  Who can describe his generation?  For his life is taken away from the earth.” [v.32,33]He asks Philip, “Does the prophet say this about himself or about someone else?” [v.34] Philip explains, “beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus.”   The whole world has now been given the whole of the word of God – all 66 books of it, in just about every language. Remember what Jesus said; “Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required” (Luke 12 v.48)People in the ancient world were challenged by the faith of Noah in the huge ark he and his sons built over many years!  Does the word of God really challenge us?  It did when it was first printed! Let us read some of it every day – and our understanding will grow and – like the Eunuch, we will start to think and to ask, “What prevents me from being baptised?” [v.37]  And if we are already baptised and have experienced the feeling he did after his baptism in “going on his way rejoicing” [v.39] we will find less and less to rejoice about in much of what we do in this world..We will relate to words in Peter's 1st letter.  He said that genuine believers “by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.  In this you rejoice, though now, for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith … may be found to result in praise and honour and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” [1 v.5-7]

The good news about Jesus spreads to unlikely people from unlikely places. But what can stand in the way of them believing and being baptized?

This week we cover the last two weeks of passages, from Philip in Samaria with Simon the Magician to Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch.

Send a textIn Acts 8:26–40, the gospel takes a surprising turn down a desert road.After powerful ministry in Samaria, Philip receives an unexpected command from an angel of the Lord: leave the crowds and go south toward Gaza. On that road he encounters an Ethiopian official — a high-ranking treasurer serving the queen of Ethiopia — who is reading aloud from the book of Isaiah but struggling to understand what it means.What follows is one of the most beautiful gospel moments in Scripture.Philip explains that the passage the man is reading — Isaiah 53 — is actually pointing to Jesus Christ, the suffering servant who was led like a lamb to the slaughter. Through this conversation, the Ethiopian official comes to understand the good news about Jesus, believes, and is immediately baptized.Listen now and discover how Jesus is revealed in Isaiah and proclaimed on a desert road.You can listen to past and future episodes of this podcast and The God Revelation Podcast and the Holy Spirit Podcast on our website   https://renewyourmindministries.org/, or on any podcast platform such as Amazon Alexa, Audible, Apple/Itunes Podcasts, Spotify, iheart, Youtube Podcasts, & etc.If you need prayer, you can email us at renewyourmindm@gmail.com.

Black people, often associated with Cush, Ethiopia, and other African regions, are present throughout the Bible in significant, positive roles, including Simon of Cyrene (who carried Jesus' cross), the Ethiopian Eunuch, Ebed-Melech, and Zipporah. The Bible features these figures as early believers, prophets, and leaders, highlighting the inclusion of diverse, dark-skinned populations in biblical history.Support the showhttp://www.gwafgbc.org http://www.gwafgbc.org/storehttp://www.gwafgbc.org/givehttps://vimeo.com/manage/videos

James Forsyth • Acts 8:26-40 • The Church At Its Best • February 22, 2026

This week, we finish our Preaching and Persecution series in Acts. In Acts 8, we see Philip follow the leading of the Holy Spirit to share the gospel with the Ethiopian Eunuch in the desert, and the Ethiopian Eunuch responds in baptism. Pastor Eric shares three points as we work through the text: 1) Radical Obedience 2) Gospel Telling 3) An Outward Response

In this powerful sermon from Redeemer Church in Midland, Texas, Pastor Jason Hatch unpacks Acts 8:26-40, recounting Philip's Spirit-led encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch on a desert road. Through the eunuch's humble search for truth in Isaiah 53, Philip explains how Jesus fulfills the prophecy as the suffering servant who died for our sins, leading to the man's genuine conversion, immediate baptism, and joyful departure—potentially carrying the gospel to Africa. This story highlights God's sovereign power in salvation, the marks of true conversion, and the call for believers to boldly share Jesus with searching hearts.   Website: redeemermidland.org Instagram: instagram.com/redeemermidland Facebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland   At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.

David Keddie continues ours series in Acts, reflecting on the account of Philip sharing the gospel with the Ethiopian Eunuch from Acts 8:26-40:26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south[d] to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. 27 And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” 30 So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter    and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,    so he opens not his mouth.33 In his humiliation justice was denied him.    Who can describe his generation?For his life is taken away from the earth.”34 And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. 36 And 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?”[e] 38 And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

Jason Mann shares in our series, Acts. This week we look at Acts 8:4-40 and the stories of Philip, Simon, and the Ethiopian Eunuch.

The past few weeks in Acts, we have looked at the Gospel breaking out, through God's sovereign initiative, to more and more people. First, to Samaritans (enemies of the Jews), then to an Ethiopian Eunuch from the ends of the earth, and last week to a legalistic Pharisee intent on killing Christians. This morning the Gospel door is opened to the Gentiles through a European soldier, but what will see is that both men, the Apostle Peter and Cornelius, both needed a conversion.

Luke tells us about the conversion of an Ethiopian Eunuch. What do you think he did after he was converted? Let's find out together as we read Acts 8:26-40 and Isaiah 56. #EthiopianEunuch #Acts8 #PhilipAndEunuch #EunuchBaptized #LFOT #DailyDevotional #EthiopianConversion #ChariotEncounter #Isaiah53 #ReadingIsaiah #PhilipExplains #BaptismInDesert #WhatDidHeDo #EthiopiaChristianity #DesertBaptism

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.

Worship Service

Lloyd is currently teaching out of the book of Acts, and today we'll be in chapter eight. The story of the Ethiopian Eunuch is a great story of surrender, and the great blessings available to us when we surrender our lives to Jesus Christ.  Surrender is a negative word for many people. Our ego tells us that surrender is a sign of weakness, but actually, just the opposite is true.

Today we'll return to pastor Lloyd's series in the book of Acts called “The World Upside Down”. The message today is titled “Divine Guidance in Our Salvation”, based on the story of the Ethiopian Eunuch. This wonderful story is found in Acts chapter eight, verses twenty six through forty.
