In this episode, we continue our verse-by-verse study of Acts 8; specifically, verses 9–17, where the gospel reaches Samaria. We meet Simon the sorcerer, whose counterfeit power is confronted by the true power of Jesus Christ through Philip’s preaching. As the Samaritans believe and are baptized, we explore the difference between outward belief and genuine saving faith, and why God uniquely delayed the coming of the Holy Spirit to confirm their full acceptance into the church. This passage reveals how God unites unlikely people and advances His unstoppable gospel.
