The Book of Acts leaves us with an incredible clue for how to live as followers of Christ in the modern world. Unhindered may be the last word of Acts, but it’s the first word for those who put their hope, faith, and trust in the risen King Jesus.

This week we are jumping into a replay of a July 2023 conversation with Pastor Tom Roepke and Martin Welker. Martin is a former agnostic who became a Christian. The conversation recounts his spiritual journey, including incredible miracles and harrowing incidents he experienced both as a combat soldier and during times of peace.

Have you ever had a conversation with someone who was open to talking about their faith? Maybe it was a friend, family member, or even a stranger. If so, how did you respond?

In today's message, we see how in Acts 8, Philip responded to the Ethiopian eunuch, who was open to learning more about the gospel. Philip engaged him with curiosity and humility, contextualized the gospel to his life, and seized the opportunity to share Jesus.

This New Testament story can provide some guidance on how we can respond to those we meet with spiritual openness so that we can all pursue a deeper life in Christ.
