Acts 8 – When God Opens the Door
Big Idea: God partners with ordinary people to advance the Gospel!
Acts 8:26-40
I. Everyone you meet needs Jesus (vv.26-28).
II. Listen to the Holy Spirit (vs.29).
- Acts is a book full of portraits of faithfulness. Yes, God powerfully at work; but so often, God powerfully at work THROUGH the faithfulness of his people.
III. Preach Jesus to them (vv. 30-35)
- The people we meet don’t just need “religion;” they don’t just need to “go to church.” They don’t even need to just “read their Bible every day;” what they need is Jesus.
VI. Response to the message (vv. 36-40)
- Confession (vs.37).
- Baptism (vs.38).
