INTRODUCTION:
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. Prominent voices among the change agents have certainly declared their conviction that instrumental music should not be treated as an issue of fellowship
