About this listen
In Acts 8:1–25, we see God use persecution, scattering, and unexpected people to move the gospel into new places and new hearts. What looked like a setback for the early church became a powerful catalyst for God’s mission.
This message explores how God often uses difficult seasons, disrupted plans, and unlikely messengers to accomplish His purposes — and challenges us to consider whether we’re fully surrendered to Jesus or trying to control the terms of our faith.
From Philip’s ministry in Samaria to the story of Simon the magician, this passage reminds us that the gospel is not about power, control, or convenience — it’s about wholehearted devotion to Jesus and participation in His expanding kingdom.
Key themes:
• God’s purpose in hardship and disruption
• The spread of the gospel beyond Jerusalem
• Authentic faith vs. transactional faith
• Surrendering all of life to Jesus
