Finding My Place in the Story – Part 1
“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth…he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else…For in him we LIVE and MOVE and HAVE OUR BEING.” Acts 17:24-28 (NIV)
Keys to Finding my Place
(Acts 8:26-29)
1) Be open to it.
“An angel of the Lord said to Philip, ‘Get ready and go south to the road that leads down to Gaza from Jerusalem—the desert road.’ So Philip got ready and went…” vs. 26-27 (NCV)
“…he (Philip) met the treasurer of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority…The eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and he was now returning. Seated in his carriage, he was reading aloud from the book of the prophet Isaiah.” vs. 27b-28 (NLT)
2) Be willing to give and receive help.
“Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ Philip asked. ‘How can I,’ he said, ‘unless someone explains it to me?’ So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.” vs. 30-31 (NIV)
“When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.” Romans 1:12 (NLT)
3) Be courageous and take the next step.
“And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.” vs. 38 (NIV)
“In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is DEAD.” James 2:17 (NIV)
