Скачать или смотреть Acts 8:1-25: The Gospel is on the Move | Pastor Troy Drake

In this dynamic message from Acts 8:1-25, Pastor Troy Drake shows us how persecution meant to destroy the church actually propelled the gospel forward. Watch as Philip takes the gospel to Samaria, performing miracles and seeing mass conversions—including Simon the Sorcerer—demonstrating that the gospel cannot be stopped.

Learn five practical ways to help us get going in evangelism, from expecting the church to spread out to being patient with new believers. This message challenges the notion that we should just wait for unbelievers to come to us, reminding us that Jesus said "GO and make disciples."

Key Scripture: Acts 8:1-25Five Ways to Help Us Get Going:

Expect the church to spread out - Growth means movement (verses 1-4)
Answer the call - Like Philip, be faithful in simple things first (verses 5-8)
Believe God's word changes people - The gospel transforms lives (verses 9-13)
Desire the power of the Holy Spirit - Seek fresh filling for ministry (verses 14-17)
Be patient with new believers - Grace for those learning to walk (verses 18-25)

Key Truth: "My personal comfort is not really high on God's list—saving more people is."This message addresses the balance between fellowship and outreach, the reality of global persecution today, and why sharing the gospel—not just moral reform—changes communities.
