Acts 8:1-8, 26-39
1. In life we will have troubles. Many Christ-followers face persecution.

2. Opposition and persecution can open doors to growing and sharing our faith.

3. God has often already prepared people’s hearts to listen.

4. We can participate in the witness that will occur before Christ returns.

5. Like Philip, we can share the good news about Jesus to those God brings to us.

Take Home
We have been given the privilege and the choice to be faithful witnesses to those very different from us whom God has prepared amidst their hard times and even ours.
