Acts 8-9: When Jesus Surprises You

Send us a message!

We follow the early church through persecution, surprising growth, and Spirit-powered ministry as the gospel pushes beyond Jerusalem. We also wrestle with motives, repentance, and reconciliation when God turns enemies into family and calls us to make peace. 
• persecution scatters believers and spreads the good news into Judea and Samaria 
• Philip’s preaching in Samaria and the city’s joy through deliverance and healing 
• Simon’s attempt to purchase spiritual power and Peter’s sharp call to repent 
• Philip guided to the Ethiopian eunuch, Scripture explained from Isaiah to Jesus 
• baptism and rejoicing as the gospel reaches beyond borders 
• Saul’s road to Damascus encounter with Jesus and the cost of following him 
• Ananias obeying through fear and Saul filled with the Holy Spirit 
• Saul preaching boldly, facing plots, and Barnabas vouching for him 
• Peter healing Aeneas and raising Tabitha as many turn to the Lord 

Be a Barnabas today. Who needs you to show up for them?
