Summary

(Acts 8:31-38) The Christian life is meant to advance the good news of Jesus—personally, practically, and prayerfully. We must point wandering souls to the way of life. We are to be Spirit-filled and Scripture-filled, learning key gospel texts, and using questions and conversations as natural entry points to share Christ. This lesson explores Philip the evangelist’s approach—recognizing God-placed opportunities, using the Bible as the roadmap to point any text to Jesus, and understanding believer’s baptism as the confession-following sign of faith illustrated by the Ethiopian’s response.  Learn how to share your faith with others with the FREE resources available at: https://enjoyingthejourney.org/resources/witness/  (10102260429) Join Scott Pauley's study through Scripture this year.

The good news of the gospel is only good news to those who hear it.

0:11.6

Philip the evangelist understood that. He did not keep the message to himself, but he went

0:17.0

wherever the spirit of God led him, and he preached Christ to those who needed to know.

In this study that Scott is calling the gospel Christian, he reminds us that the word gospel

0:28.8

means good news. It even has the word go in it, reminding us that the Christian life is meant

0:36.3

to advance the gospel message.

0:39.1

Join Scott Pauley today as we learn what it means to be a true gospel Christian.

0:48.1

Do you know what this world desperately needs,

0:51.5

and every sinner desperately needs? They need Jesus. We all need Jesus.

0:59.4

And not social issues, not racial debate, not economic recovery, not political crusades and

1:06.3

personal preferences. People need Jesus Christ. Only Christ can change the heart. And that's why in Acts

1:15.7

chapter 8, when Philip was given the opportunity to speak in any context, let him speak to a large

1:22.5

crowd in the city of Samaria, let him speak to one person in the desert. He wants to talk about one thing. He wants to

1:29.3

talk about Jesus Christ. Don't you love that? That's the essence of a gospel Christian. Cut him and

1:36.9

he bleeds the gospel. Jossil him and it is Christ that comes out. Beat him down and it will just simply press out of him, the love of God.

1:48.1

This is what it truly means to be a follower of Christ seeking to lead others to him. Now, we're

1:54.6

talking about how to become a gospel guide, how to guide people to God. And we learn, first of all, that you have to look for people along the way, be sensitive

2:04.6

to the people God puts in your path and the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

2:08.6

We've talked about using the roadmap.

2:11.3

You may begin the question, you may begin the conversation, but the direction has to come

2:15.9

from Scripture.

2:17.2

I've often said to people who want to witness more effectively, you don't have to convince
