Coming Up on Sunday, July 21

This Sunday we wrap up our series on lessons that modern Christians can learn from the earliest Christians' experiences as described in the Acts of the Apostles.  We will focus on the conversion and baptism of an Ethiopian by Philip, which seems to have become a popular text for sermons in the past 25 years.

Often, I think that people focus on the questions and the enthusiasm of the Ethiopian convert, which are important.  This Sunday, however, I'd like to focus more on Philip's role in the story and how Philip's experience is likely similar to our own faith experiences.
