Summary

(Acts 8:37-40) Consider Philip’s faithful obedience to the Holy Spirit and the simplicity and Christ-centeredness of Philip’s message.

0:00.0	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.
0:23.0	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.
0:48.0	It's a beautiful thing to see a humble servant of Christ named Philip speaking boldly, unashamed, courageously to such a powerful man
0:59.7	as this Ethiopian eunuch. You do understand this is a wealthy man. This is an aristocrat. This is a man with
1:06.5	all the trappings of material things. And yet Philip sees him as a soul for whom Jesus died.
1:15.4	I think sometimes our prejudice is not only perhaps against one extreme, it can be against
1:22.6	the other. For example, a person can be prejudiced against race, but a person can also be prejudice
1:29.8	against material prosperity. Do you love the rich man and the poor man? Because they all need
1:36.5	Jesus. And when Philip opens his mouth, he speaks to this Ethiopian unique in Acts
1:42.3	8 about Jesus Christ. He is the essence of a gospel
1:46.7	guide. In fact, did you know that every recorded word of Philip in scripture is about Christ?
1:51.7	That's beautiful, isn't it? Wouldn't it be great if what people remembered us talking about was Jesus?
1:58.2	We've got to get back to having conversations about Christ. And so we've learned how he
2:04.3	looked for opportunities and obeyed the promptings of the Holy Spirit and used the roadmap of the
2:09.2	Word of God to lead them and pointed them to the way of life, which is the Lord Jesus Christ.
2:16.2	He is truly guiding people to God. But now what? Now a man has
2:21.5	professed his faith in Christ. Now a sinner has come to know the Lord Jesus. So what's next? What's next
