3. Acts 8:26 - 40 Persuasive Philip
The Spirit is igniting the church.
The community is growing.
The gospel is being preached.
There a multi cultural community forming and there’s a concern about one community’s widows being overlooked against another.
The LOGISTICAL PROBLEMS of a spiritual community.
We think spiritual is all just ‘holy, holy, holy’ but much of the holiness of community is in the nitty gritty, sleeves rolled up.
This is the problem facing the church. What is their response?
