Acts 8:26-40 Bible study

Many believers had a wilderness experience in the Bible. In this passage, the Holy Spirit told Philip the Evangelist to go to the wilderness to share the gospel. A strange instruction!

What happens next reminds us that the Holy Spirit builds His church and we should be sensitive to His voice.

Acts 8:8-25 Bible study

In today’s study, we will look at Simon the magician, a sorcerer. He sees the power of God at work, believes, and is baptized. But was he really saved?

He wanted the Holy Spirit, but for the wrong reasons. Acts 8 shows you can be very close to the gospel and still miss Christ.

Today we will learn how God turns things that are bad into good, not just back then, but today in our lives too.
