Summary
In Acts 8, Philip leaves a thriving revival in Samaria to walk a desert road, where he finds one Ethiopian official reading Isaiah in a chariot. That single conversation becomes the seed of the Ethiopian church, one of the oldest Christian traditions on earth. We walk through this story to ask a simple question: what does success in the kingdom of God actually look like? Not crowds, not platforms, not the American instinct to do large things famously and fast. Something quieter. Faithful obedience to the whisper of God, often in small, overlooked places. Along the way, we look at four things that shaped Philip's life: trustworthy in small things, faithful in hard things, quick to obey, and willing to look foolish. And we sit with the Ethiopian eunuch, a man religion had locked out, who finds in Jesus that nothing can hinder him from being welcomed in. Part of our series Church on Fire, a journey through the book of Acts.
