Acts 8:26-39
1.
You have to be open to hearing God’s voice! Acts 8:26, Now an angel of the
Lord said to Philip, “Go south
to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
2.
You have to be obedient to God’s voice! Acts 8:27, 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,
3.
You must be willing to deal with those opposite of you! Acts 8:27, 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,
4.
You have to seize the opportunity! Acts 8:28-29, and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. The
Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot
and stay near it.”
5.
You must be willing to go out of your way! Acts 8:29-30, The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near
it.” Then Philip ran up to the chariot and
heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are
reading?” Philip asked.
6.
You must be will to offer your story! Acts 8:30-31, hen Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man
reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip
asked. “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit
with him. 1 Peter 3:15, But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to
everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do
this with gentleness and respect,
7.
Outline what
Jesus means to you! Acts 8:34, The eunuch
asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”
8.
Give them the order (ABC) of salvation! Acts 8:35, Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
9.
Be willing to go over and above! Acts 8:37-38, Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you
may.” The eunuch answered, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” And
he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both
Philip and the eunuch went down into
the water and Philip baptized him.
10. Remember the gospel is going out
when you witness! Acts 8:39, 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.
