  • Acts #11: Be guided by God (Acts 8); Stefan Schmid : Summary: The second passage that speaks to us about Philip in the book of Acts is precious for knowing how to let God guide you by: – obeying what He tells us (even if humanly we don't understand everything); – being attentive to the situation that God has so well prepared to go straight to the point (here presenting the gospel). – Attention, time is limited! For Philip, the window was less than a day. So, let's not waste God's opportunities!
  • Acts #10: Believing in Christ: The effects of the Gospel (Acts 8 ); Patrice Berger : Summary: The gospel arrives and it is accepted among the Samaritans (who were hated at that time by the Jews). The gospel is for everyone. A man is like these new believers but his heart is not Christ's. He believes in the effects of the gospel, miracles, Holy Spirit which he wants to acquire with money. The gospel is not something more, but a metamorphosis of our lives given to Christ. Acts 8 is an interesting text talking about evoking the gift of the Holy Spirit.

    • BBE summary for : Acts 8

    Summary: Acts 8 recounts several key events following the martyrdom of Stephen, which catalyzed the spread of the Gospel beyond Jerusalem. The chapter begins with Saul's persecution of the church, leading to the scattering of believers who disperse to regions like Samaria. Notably, Philip, a deacon, preaches in Samaria, performing miracles and converting many, which highlights the expansion of the church and the breaking of ethnic barriers in the mission of the Gospel. In Samaria, Philip encounters Simon the Sorcerer, who initially believes and is baptized but later seeks to buy the power of the Holy Spirit. This scene serves as a warning against a superficial faith and the dangers of commodifying spiritual gifts. The chapter also describes the apostles sending Peter and John to Samaria to pray for the new converts to receive the Holy Spirit, emphasizing the importance of apostolic authority and community in the early church. The chapter concludes with the account of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, who, after being guided by the Spirit, is baptized upon understanding the Scriptures. This encounter illustrates God's sovereign orchestration of salvation and the inclusion of Gentiles into the faith. Overall, Acts 8 underscores the themes of evangelism, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the universal mission of the church, affirming the transformative power of the Gospel across diverse cultures and peoples.
