In this episode, we look at Acts 8, exploring the powerful story of how the early church responded to opposition. This episode begins by examining the catalyst for revival in Judea and Samaria—persecution that scattered believers but also ignited a movement that would transform entire regions. We unpack Philip's evangelistic efforts in Samaria, where miraculous signs and conversions took place, including the intriguing encounter with Simon the Sorcerer. Through Simon's story, we reflect on the dangers of trying to manipulate God's power and the importance of genuine faith and surrender. Podcast Links:www.pursuingfaith.org

Every organisation is susceptible to the danger of bad people being like a wolf in sheep's clothing. So risk management and safeguarding is critical. The early church had a guy named Simon the Sorcerer who was like this, (not to be confused with Monty Pythons, Tim the Enchanter) but thankfully, Peter saw through his trickery and dealt with him early.

Klassikeren Simon the Sorcerer er et av de vakreste og koseligste pek-og-klikk-eventyrspillene fra 90-tallet. Kanskje overraskende er det verken laget av Sierra eller LucasArts. For å hjelpe til å mimre har Martin Gjesdal tatt på seg vikarklærne og invitert legenden Joachim Froholt.

In Acts 8, we see the early church is under attack, yet it is spreading rapidly. This week, we take a deeper look at a Samaritan magician named Simon Magnus. Simon learns a lesson about being more in awe of the miracles of God then the God of miracles.
This weekend we unpacked Acts 8. » Jesus wasn't the first to say: "Come follow me," and he won't be the last. » Turning toward Jesus involves claiming his promises and wrestling with his questions.

Simon the Sorcerer is a rude teen who likes boobs, doesn't know what's happening around him, and never stops talking. This, his improbable second adventure, draws him back into the fantasy world because he can't stay out of containers designated for clothing. Is there zero joy to be had in a Simon the Sorcerer game? We don't know. But this one just never... stops... talking. Why should a joke ever end? It can just keep going. That's what we call value.
