The Gospel is Always Moving

The Gospel is Always Moving
Pastor Blake Hanson | 11.16.22

Bottom Line: The Gospel of is always working.

Acts 1:8 (NLT)

8 But you will receive power  when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Acts 8:1–8 (NLT)

1 Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen. A great wave of persecution began that day, sweeping over the church in Jerusalem; and all the believers except the apostles were scattered through the regions of Judea and Samaria. 

2 (Some devout men came and buried Stephen with great mourning.) 

3 But Saul was going everywhere to destroy the church. He went from house to house, dragging out both men and women to throw them into prison. 

4 But the believers who were scattered preached the Good News about Jesus wherever they went. 

5 Philip, for example, went to the city of Samaria and told the people there about the Messiah. 

6 Crowds listened intently to Philip because they were eager to hear his message and see the miraculous signs he did. 

7 Many evil spirits were cast out, screaming as they left their victims. And many who had been paralyzed or lame were healed. 

8 So there was great joy in that city.

Acts 8:1 (NLT)

…and all the believers except the apostles were scattered through the regions of Judea and Samaria.

Acts 8:4 (NLT)

4 But the believers who were scattered preached the Good News about Jesus wherever they went.

Acts 8:5–6 (NLT)

5 Philip, for example, went to the city of Samaria and told the people there about the Messiah. 

6 Crowds listened intently to Philip because they were eager to hear his message and see the miraculous signs he did. 

3)  

Acts 8:7–8 (NLT)

7 Many evil spirits were cast out, screaming as they left their victims. And many who had been paralyzed or lame were healed. 

8 So there was great joy in that city.

Acts 8:12–13 (NLT)

12 But now the people believed Philip’s message of Good News concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ. As a result, many men and women were baptized. 

13 Then Simon himself believed and was baptized. He began following Philip wherever he went, and he was amazed by the signs and great miracles Philip performed.
