Enjoying the Journey

(Acts 8:26-31) Join Scott Pauley for an examination of Acts 8:26-31 and the life-changing ministry of Philip the Evangelist and his encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch. This lesson explores what it means to be a gospel guide — a believer who is willing to go where the Spirit leads and introduce others to Jesus. We are called to be witnesses and personal gospel guides, looking for people along the way and bringing people to Christ, in cooperation with the Holy Spirit.

In this Weekend Pulpit message, Scott continues his study in Acts 11 and explores the unlikely rise of the church in Antioch. Using the church's story as a model, he shows how the gospel advances when the Lord is central to a congregation and when believers pass along what they have received.
Scott examines Acts 11:19–24, highlighting four marks of what happens when the Lord "comes to town": the moving of the Lord, the turning to the Lord, the adding to the church, and the cleaving to the Lord.

(Acts 8:5-8) From this study, we learn to: (1) tell the lost of Jesus, (2) both speak and show the gospel, and (3) depend on divine power — expecting God to move, even amid spiritual opposition and warfare. We are to love people where we are, finding our Jerusalem and sharing the gospel locally, being doers and not just hearers of the Word. This way, we can bring great joy to our city.

(Acts 8:4-5) God uses unlikely circumstances and unlovely places to gather sinners to Himself. The disciples were scattered after persecution, but God’s ways are higher than ours, and this divine strategy was used to spread the gospel. We must bring the gospel to the neglected, despised, and out-of-the-way places and people, because "the ground is level at the foot of the cross."
Listen for encouragement to trust God’s higher purposes, to embrace mission in unlikely places, and to join in the harvest God is already preparing.

(Acts 8:1-5) There is a difference between God’s “scattering” (like sowing seed) and Satan’s destructive scattering. From Stephen’s martyrdom to the scattering of the early church, we can see how the gospel moves forward even through suffering and upheaval. Following Christ often brings opposition, but persecution historically has expanded the reach of the gospel. Be a servant where God has placed you, because every believer can play a part in advancing the gospel.

(Acts 6:1-5) Philip was a faithful Christian and served as a deacon, becoming the model of someone whom God can use.
Three marks made Philip usable: being in the family of God, living a faithful life of integrity (an "honest report"), and being filled with the Holy Spirit, which produces wisdom and power. God is looking for usable people - people who are yielded and surrendered to Christ. 
Examine your own faith, commitment, and Spirit-filled walk; understand that true service begins with who you are, not just what you do; and embrace the call to advance the gospel.

(Acts 21:8-9) Join Scott Pauley for the first episode In this exciting series as he begins a study called "The Gospel Christian." The word "gospel" literally means "good news" and even contains the idea of "go!" The Christian life is meant to advance the message of Christ to others. A "Gospel Christian" Is someone who not only believes and obeys the gospel, but allows it to control and shape every part of their life. Scott Pauley uses the life of Philip the Evangelist as the Spirit-inspired model of a gospel-centered life, tracing Philip’s ministry from his appointment in Acts 6 to his ministry in Caesarea (Acts 21), noting Philip’s role as an evangelist.

In this Weekend Pulpit, Scott brings a message from Acts 11:19-20, examining the church at Antioch — the unexpected epicenter from which the gospel advanced to the Gentile world. This message reminds us that we serve the same God today that was at work then - He will work in our lives as well.
