In this episode, we look at Acts 8, exploring the powerful story of how the early church responded to opposition. This episode begins by examining the catalyst for revival in Judea and Samaria—persecution that scattered believers but also ignited a movement that would transform entire regions. We unpack Philip's evangelistic efforts in Samaria, where miraculous signs and conversions took place, including the intriguing encounter with Simon the Sorcerer. Through Simon’s story, we reflect on the dangers of trying to manipulate God's power and the importance of genuine faith and surrender.
