Prepare to step back in time as we navigate the early days of the Christian church during intense persecution. We're taking you through a riveting journey of faith, unfolding the narrative of Acts chapter 8, featuring Philip's missionary journey to Samaria and his encounter with an Ethiopian official that shattered racial barriers. 

We promise a close look into Simon the Sorcerer's transformation from a man of enchantment to an adherer to the Gospel. The tale doesn't end there. We'll also shed light on how Christianity morphed from a Jewish sect to a faith that crossed borders, reaching as far as Ethiopia and Antioch. We'll tackle the tricky transition of the disciples from their deep-rooted Jewish conventions and Peter's justification for inducting non-Jews into the church. Prepare for a fascinating exploration into the early Christian church's evolving identity and the challenges it overcame. You're in for a treat!

The three stories in chapter 15 stir feelings for the lost and the loser. In a few brief sentences, Jesus' parables tug at feelings of loss and remorse that lie buried beneath the surface in all of us.

Question?
When did you lose something important and then find it again?

The only description of Jesus in the Bible was not a beautiful one but a servant who suffered for the transgressors of our world, people like you and me. A role fit for a true King, the one who poured out his life to death, for he bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors

Question:
Who needs to hear about Jesus, the Messiah prophesied about in Isaiah?

The author of Isaiah explains how God will redeem Jerusalem by introducing the mysterious figure of the suffering servant whose appearance is disfigured beyond that of any human being (52:14). Who is this suffering servant? And how will such a weakened person achieve a great victory, even bringing light to all nations? Jewish scholars puzzled over these passages for centuries. Many considered them the most significant part of the Hebrew Scriptures, yet they could not agree on precisely what the prophet meant. 

QUESTION?
If you had been a jew in Jesus' day, would you have been disappointed in the messiah? Why did Jesus choose to come as a suffering servant rather than as perhaps a triumphant army general?

You can have the world at your fingertips and the universe as your world to explore, but would that be enough to satisfy the human cravings of wanting more? The one tree in the Garden of Eden was forbidden to touch, but a deceitful messenger caused havoc in paradise, which caused Adam and Eve to lose the place they once called home. 

Have you ever felt overwhelmed or stifled by one of God's commands? How have you responded to this feeling?

As Amos, a street-corner prophet, warns, God's people cannot forever push God into a small corner of their lives to be brought out like a magic charm whenever they need him.

What parallels do you see between Amos's time and our own?

When the hating doesn't work, stay true to your faith and watch your God work on your behalf. Not even death should scare you away from prayer and worship.

Not feeling worthy of God's comfort when he's already wrapped his around you makes you think, whos the crazy one for not knowing it's available to you at all times?

David showed great sorrow for his behavior after committing such horrible acts. But we all fall short and fail so that we can learn with a broken heart; there's a master who can create un us something new. 

Isn't it wonderful that we cannot fall far enough where The Lord can't catch us?

The questions we all have for The Lord are in our hearts. The blockage we have to receive depends on our relationship with the creator.

If you had 24 hours with God to ask whatever you wanted, what kind of answers would you like?

To be exposed or not to be told was the problem here. Many fakes amongst us, but who will reveal the accurate word of our Lord as written in scripture?

Have you ever been confronted and put to shame because you were living a lie?

To get a word from our Lord, you have to be receptive. To receive the holy message, you must confess your sins no matter how it comes.

How do you instinctively react when someone confronts you over your wrongdoings?

I guess being sleazy to get what you want has no limits to make you think before love gets you killed. One will call them friends, but even then, you can fall victim to a backstabber.

Have you ever been "caught in the act" and tried to deceive your way out of your predicament

It was One shot to the head with a stone and a slingshot. David had the confidence of the Lord to help him win the battle that no one stood on the battle line to do. 

Are you facing any great fear or danger? Is God telling you to rely utterly on him?

God gave us rules because his law is the perfect structure. But who am I to convince you of the commandments given to the people who love his plans? We live and learn and die every day; let today be the day you make way with our creator.

Not even with everything handed to us did we have the skills to follow the rules; why did we still disobey the Lord's First commandment? How being weak to flesh could cause you to lose everything?
