TEXT Acts 8:26-40 ESV about Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch

INTRODUCTION:

The phrase “Going on Mission with God” seemed to stick to this passage of Scripture that you just read. And it is the title of this message.

You see, God is on a mission in this world, and He gives us the opportunity to be involved specifically as a church and as individuals. In the account in Acts 8 that we have just read, this man, Philip, answered the call of God to a special...

Recently I was asked to answer a few questions related to expository preaching. I have edited the questions and answers to send this to you. My answers are not comprehensive, but they represent my attempt to give a brief answer on important questions.

1. What is ‘our’ approach to expository preaching?

“O Israel, hope in the Lord;

for with the Lord there is mercy,

and with Him is abundant redemption.”

(Psalm 130:7 NKJV)

THOUGHT:

This Psalm moves from being intensely personal (1-6) to being a call for all of God’s people to hope in the Lord (7-8).

There is mercy with the Lord, and I want us all to know that we can experience the Lord’s mercy. Indeed,...
