New Sermon Series Beginning
February 9, 2025
Acts 8 is not the most famous chapter in the New Testament. Philip is not a main character in the story of the early Church. The Ethiopian remains nameless. Yet, the story in Acts 8:26-39 expands and reorients understandings of mission and evangelism for many Christians. This story takes place in a fairly unlikely place: on a road in a desert. Neither character seemed to expect any particular spiritual epiphany in this place or moment, yet both experience conversion in different ways.
These intersections in the desert produce a minor chord to the more triumphalist visions of evangelism with which many Christians are familiar. The minor chord here allows for nuance and innuendo. This story leaves you a bit off balance and wondering what is possible with the Holy Spirit and God’s salvation.
In this four-week series, we'll revisit this desert encounter, the impact on both Philip and the Ethiopian, and the implications it has for us today as the Church engaging with the world.
