In chapter 9 of Acts, in an ongoing study of the book, the infamous persecutor of Christians, Saul, gets confronted and changed by Jesus. On his way to Damascus, Paul sees a vision of Jesus and hears a message that is so powerful that he's blinded and refuses to eat or drink for three days. After this encounter with God, his life will never be the same, and neither will the world.

Title: The Acts of the Holy Spirit - Acts 8:9-40 - Power Evangelism

Closing up chapter 8 of Acts, in an ongoing study of the book, we see Philip, the only man called an Evangelist in the Bible, walking in some incredible power. He's moving in signs and wonders, getting people healed, casting out demons, hearing from God, seeing angels, getting teleported, and preaching the Gospel everywhere his feet take him. Now that's some power!

The Acts of the Holy Spirit - Acts 8:1-8

Date: Sunday, May 13, 2007
Speaker: Michael Fisher
Title: The Acts of the Holy Spirit - Acts 8:1-8

In chapter 8 of Acts, in an ongoing study of the book, we see the church begin to take the gospel beyond Israel. After the martyrdom of Stephen, Saul began persecuting the church so much that almost all but the Apostles fled from Jerusalem. The result? Disciples like Philip spread the kingdom message to Samaria and beyond. The world-shaking church as we know it was birthed.

Entering chapter 7 of Acts, in an ongoing study of the book which has been called the training manual for Christians.

He became the first of many Christian martyrs, but his death was also the launching point of Christianity beyond Israel.
