The Advent story begins here, not with shepherds and angels, but with the recognition that our world is broken, our worship tainted, and our hearts are in need of renewal. Godʼs holiness demands both judgment and mercy. He will not overlook sin, but neither will he abandon sinners. Only when we see our sin clearly can we grasp the wonder of salvation.

Of life all about Jesus.

Preacher: Jonathan Smith
Today Pastor Jonathan is teaching on Philip's encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch and how he witnesses to this man and teaches him who Jesus is. Philip was just an ordinary person in the church - he wasn't an apostle or one of the leaders, but God used him to present the gospel to this Ehthiopian official.
Was this coincidence that these two men met, or was it a divine appointment, orchestrated by God? Jonathan presents that it was a divine appointment. Anytime when we are challenged to present the gospel to someone, God has already started the process for the person to hear, so we need to adopt the attitude that something extraordinary will happen when we obey God and be both obedient and expectant.
After all, the entire Book of Acts is about ordinary people doing extraordinary things by the power of the Holy Spirit, and these things did not stop in the first century.
