A. The story is told of a bigoted Chinese man who had refused to hear a missionary preach. Finally, he surprised the missionary by telling him, ‘I have decided to hear the words of your religion — I want to hear about Jesus.’ When asked why the sudden change, the man said, ‘I have heard the laughter in your house, and in the houses of my countryman who have accepted what you preach and I want to hear it too.’
B. When people see the joy we possess as a Christian, they will want to know more about Christianity
1. But is we look like we have been weaned on a sour pickle, they world will probably not be interested in what we have to say.
Introduction: Read Acts 8:12
1. Pentecost (Acts 2) gives us a great example as to what to preach.
1) Every word designed to awaken faith in Jesus.
2) Then to motivate the audience to faithful obedience.
2. But did the next evangelists follow the same pattern? It is good to notice what the next evangelists preached because THAT’S what WE need to preach.
3. About the text:
1) Christians were scattered because of the persecution in Jerusalem (Stephen, Acts 7).
2) They didn’t scatter and hide, they scattered and preached (Acts 8:4), and so we find Philip in Samaria.
3) The Lord worked miracles through him so that the people would believe, John 20:30-31, Mark 16:20; Heb. 2:3-4.
4. The content of his preaching is critical
1) The things concerning the Kingdom of God.
2) The name of Jesus Christ.
5. When they heard these things they believed and obeyed.
6. Because we have been given the job of world evangelism (Matt. 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16; Luke 24:46-47), just like Philip we ought to examine what the New testament has to say about the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ.

3. Then there is the pile of money spent on treating the anxiety caused by wealth.
