  from

  the

  Message
• 1:05
  and
• 1:05
  Saul
• 1:05
  went
• 1:05
  wild,
• 1:06
  devastating
• 1:07
  the
• 1:07
  church,
• 1:07
  entering
• 1:07
  house
• 1:08
  after
• 1:08
  house
• 1:08
  after

  house,

  men

  and
• 1:09
  women
• 1:10
  off

  to

• 1:12
  Forced
• 1:12
  to
• 1:12
  leave

  home
• 1:13
  base,
• 1:13
  the
• 1:13
  followers
• 1:14
  of
• 1:14
  Jesus
• 1:14
  all
• 1:15
  became
• 1:15
  missionaries.
• 1:16
  Wherever
• 1:17
  they
• 1:17
  were
• 1:17
  scattered,
• 1:17
  they
• 1:17
  preached
• 1:18
  the
• 1:18
  message
• 1:18
  about
• 1:19
  Jesus
• 1:19
  going
• 1:19
  down
• 1:19
  to
• 1:20
  a
• 1:20
  Samaritan
• 1:20
  city,
• 1:21
  for
• 1:21
  Philip
• 1:22
  proclaimed
• 1:22
  the
• 1:22
  message
• 1:23
  of
• 1:23
  the
• 1:23
  Messiah.
• 1:24
  When
• 1:24
  the
• 1:24
  people
• 1:24
  heard
• 1:25
  what
• 1:25
  he
• 1:26
  had
• 1:26
  to
• 1:26
  say
• 1:26
  and
• 1:26
  saw
• 1:27
  the
• 1:27
  miracles,
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  clear
• 1:28
  signs
• 1:29
  of
• 1:29
  God's
• 1:29
  action,
• 1:30
  they
• 1:30
  hung
• 1:31
  on
• 1:31
  his
• 1:31
  every
• 1:32
  word.
• 1:32
  Many
• 1:33
  who
• 1:33
  could
• 1:33
  neither
• 1:33
  stand
• 1:34
  nor
• 1:34
  walk
• 1:34
  were
• 1:35
  healed
• 1:35
  that
• 1:35
  day.
• 1:36
  The
• 1:36
  evil
• 1:37
  spirits
• 1:37
  protested
• 1:38
  loudly
• 1:38
  and
• 1:38
  they
• 1:38
  were
• 1:39
  sent
• 1:39
  on
• 1:39
  their
• 1:39
  way.
• 1:40
  And
• 1:40
  what
• 1:41
  joy
• 1:41
  in
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  city.
• 1:43
  Previous
• 1:43
  to
• 1:43
  Philip's
• 1:44
  arrival,
• 1:44
  a
• 1:44
  certain
• 1:45
  Simon
• 1:45
  had
• 1:45
  practiced
• 1:46
  magic
• 1:46
  in
• 1:47
  this
• 1:47
  city,
• 1:47
  posing
• 1:48
  as
• 1:48
  a
• 1:48
  famous
• 1:48
  man
• 1:49
  and
• 1:49
  dazzling
• 1:49
  all
• 1:50
  the
• 1:50
  Samaritans
• 1:50
  with
• 1:50
  his
• 1:51
  wizardry.
• 1:52
  He
• 1:52
  had
• 1:53
  them
• 1:53
  all,
• 1:53
  from
• 1:53
  little
• 1:53
  children
• 1:54
  to
• 1:54
  old
• 1:54
  men
• 1:54
  eating
• 1:55
  out
• 1:55
  of
• 1:55
  his
• 1:55
  hand.
• 1:56
  They
• 1:56
  all
• 1:57
  thought
• 1:57
  he
• 1:57
  had
• 1:57
  supernatural
• 1:58
  powers
• 1:58
  and
• 1:59
  they
• 1:59
  called
• 1:59
  him
• 1:59
  the
• 1:59
  Great
• 2:00
  Wizard.
• 2:01
  He
• 2:01
  had
• 2:01
  been
• 2:01
  around
• 2:01
  a
• 2:02
  long
• 2:02
  time
• 2:02
  and
• 2:02
  everyone
• 2:03
  was
• 2:03
  more
• 2:04
  or
• 2:04
  less
• 2:04
  in
• 2:05
  awe
• 2:05
  of
• 2:05
  him.
• 2:06
  But
• 2:07
  when
• 2:07
  Philip
• 2:07
  came
• 2:07
  to
• 2:08
  town,
• 2:08
  announcing
• 2:08
  the
• 2:09
  news
• 2:09
  of
• 2:09
  God's
• 2:09
  kingdom
• 2:10
  and
• 2:10
  proclaiming
• 2:10
  the
• 2:10
  name
• 2:10
  of
• 2:11
  Jesus
• 2:11
  Christ,
• 2:11
  they
• 2:12
  forgot
• 2:12
  Simon
• 2:13
  and
• 2:13
  were
• 2:13
  baptized,
• 2:14
  becoming
• 2:14
  believers
• 2:15
  right
• 2:15
  and
• 2:15
  left.
• 2:16
  Even
• 2:16
  Simon
• 2:17
  himself
• 2:17
  believed
• 2:18
  and
• 2:18
  was
• 2:18
  baptized.
• 2:20
  From
• 2:20
  that
• 2:20
  moment,
• 2:20
  he
• 2:21
  was
• 2:21
  like
• 2:21
  Philip's
• 2:22
  shadow,
• 2:23
  so
• 2:23
  fascinated
• 2:24
  with
• 2:24
  all
• 2:24
  the
• 2:24
  God
• 2:25
  signs
• 2:25
  and
• 2:25
  miracles
• 2:26
  that
• 2:26
  he
• 2:26
  wouldn't
• 2:26
  leave
• 2:27
  Philip's
• 2:29
  side.
• 2:30
  Well,
• 2:30
  my
• 2:31
  woman
• 2:31
  friend,
• 2:31
  I
• 2:32
  just
• 2:32
  want
• 2:32
  to
• 2:32
  thank
• 2:32
  you
• 2:32
  for
• 2:33
  carving
• 2:33
  out
• 2:33
  some
• 2:33
  time
• 2:34
  to
• 2:34
  be
• 2:34
  with
• 2:34
  me
• 2:34
  today
• 2:34
  as
• 2:34
  we
• 2:35
  go
• 2:35
  a
• 2:35
  little
• 2:35
  deeper
• 2:36
  into
• 2:36
  this
• 2:37
  passage
• 2:37
  of
• 2:38
  Scripture
• 2:38
  from
• 2:38
  Acts
• 2:39
  chapter
• 2:40
  8.
• 2:40
  And
• 2:41
  not
• 2:41
  sure
• 2:41
  what
• 2:41
  kind
• 2:41
  of
• 2:41
  day
• 2:42
  you're
• 2:42
  having
• 2:42
  right
• 2:42
  now
• 2:43
  or
• 2:43
  what
• 2:43
  kind
• 2:43
  of
• 2:43
  week
• 2:43
  you're
• 2:44
  having,
• 2:44
  but
• 2:44
  today's
• 2:45
  reading
• 2:45
  kind
• 2:45
  of
• 2:46
  meets
• 2:46
  us
• 2:46
  in
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  middle
• 2:47
  of
• 2:47
  disruption,
• 2:49
  change,
• 2:50
  uncertainty.
• 2:52
  And
• 2:52
  honestly,
• 2:53
  that
• 2:53
  makes
• 2:53
  it
• 2:54
  pretty
• 2:54
  relevant
• 2:54
  because
• 2:55
  we
• 2:55
  all
• 2:55
  have
• 2:55
  disruptions
• 2:56
  in
• 2:56
  our
• 2:56
  life,
• 2:56
  don't
• 2:57
  we?
• 2:57
  You
• 2:58
  see,
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  early
• 2:58
  church
• 2:59
  here
• 2:59
  in
• 2:59
  this
• 3:00
  passage
• 3:00
  was
• 3:00
  under
• 3:00
  attack.
• 3:01
  Saul
• 3:01
  is
• 3:02
  going
• 3:02
  after
• 3:02
  him.
• 3:03
  He's
• 3:03
  going
• 3:03
  house
• 3:04
  to
• 3:04
  house,
• 3:04
  dragging
• 3:05
  people
• 3:05
  out
• 3:05
  to
• 3:06
  jail.
• 3:06
  That
• 3:06
  does
• 3:06
  not
• 3:07
  sound
• 3:07
  good,
• 3:07
  does
• 3:07
  it?
• 3:08
  It
• 3:08
  sounds
• 3:09
  like
• 3:09
  a
• 3:10
  complete
• 3:10
  disruption.
• 3:11
  Unstability,
• 3:13
  fear,
• 3:13
  un,
• 3:14
  unsafe,
• 3:15
  unfair.
• 3:15
  All
• 3:16
  these
• 3:16
  things
• 3:16
  are
• 3:16
  going
• 3:16
  on,
• 3:17
  and
• 3:17
  yet
• 3:18
  this
• 3:18
  is
• 3:18
  one
• 3:18
  of
• 3:18
  those
• 3:19
  only
• 3:19
  God
• 3:19
  could
• 3:20
  do
• 3:20
  it
• 3:20
  moments.
• 3:21
  What
• 3:21
  was
• 3:22
  meant
• 3:22
  to
• 3:22
  silence
• 3:22
  the
• 3:23
  movement
• 3:23
  actually
• 3:24
  spread
• 3:24
  it.
• 3:25
  So
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  followers
• 3:26
  of
• 3:26
  Jesus
• 3:26
  scattered,
• 3:27
  but
• 3:27
  they
• 3:27
  became
• 3:27
  missionaries.
• 3:28
  Everywhere
• 3:28
  they
• 3:28
  went,
• 3:29
  they
• 3:29
  carried
• 3:29
  the
• 3:30
  good
• 3:30
  news
• 3:30
  with
• 3:30
  them.
• 3:31
  So
• 3:32
  this
• 3:32
  merits
• 3:32
  going
• 3:33
  a
• 3:33
  little
• 3:33
  deeper.
• 3:33
  What
• 3:34
  I
• 3:34
  like
• 3:34
  to
• 3:34
  call
• 3:34
  the
• 3:35
  points
• 3:35
  to
• 3:35
  ponder.
• 3:36
  So
• 3:37
  our
• 3:37
  first
• 3:37
  point
• 3:38
  to
• 3:38
  ponder
• 3:38
  is
• 3:38
  this.
• 3:40
  God
• 3:40
  can
• 3:40
  work
• 3:40
  through
• 3:41
  what
• 3:41
  we
• 3:41
  don't
• 3:42
  choose.
• 3:43
  Let's
• 3:43
  be
• 3:43
  clear,
• 3:44
  let's
• 3:45
  be
• 3:45
  sure
• 3:45
  about
• 3:45
  this.
• 3:45
  Persecution
• 3:46
  is
• 3:46
  not
• 3:47
  a
• 3:47
  good
• 3:47
  thing.
• 3:48
  Trauma
• 3:48
  is
• 3:49
  not
• 3:49
  holy.
• 3:51
  Pain
• 3:51
  is
• 3:51
  not
• 3:52
  a
• 3:52
  blessing.
• 3:53
  And
• 3:53
  still
• 3:55
  somehow
• 3:56
  God
• 3:56
  doesn't
• 3:56
  abandon
• 3:57
  people
• 3:57
  in
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  middle
• 3:58
  of
• 3:58
  it.
• 3:59
  What
• 3:59
  strikes
• 4:00
  me
• 4:00
  here
• 4:00
  is
• 4:00
  that
• 4:00
  the
• 4:00
  early
• 4:00
  believers
• 4:01
  didn't
• 4:01
  set
• 4:02
  out
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  be
• 4:02
  missionaries.
• 4:03
  They
• 4:03
  were
• 4:03
  forced
• 4:04
  to
• 4:04
  leave
• 4:04
  home.
• 4:05
  They
• 4:05
  were
• 4:06
  scattered
• 4:07
  by
• 4:07
  the
• 4:07
  persecution.
• 4:08
  And
• 4:08
  yet
• 4:08
  their
• 4:09
  lives
• 4:09
  themselves
• 4:10
  became
• 4:10
  a
• 4:11
  message.
• 4:12
  I
• 4:12
  think
• 4:12
  about
• 4:12
  all
• 4:13
  the
• 4:13
  reasons
• 4:13
  in
• 4:13
  life
• 4:14
  that
• 4:14
  we
• 4:15
  don't
• 4:15
  choose
• 4:15
  to
• 4:15
  do
• 4:16
  things.
• 4:18
  When
• 4:18
  I
• 4:18
  talk
• 4:18
  about
• 4:19
  parenting
• 4:20
  three
• 4:20
  children
• 4:20
  to
• 4:21
  adulthood,
• 4:21
  each
• 4:21
  with
• 4:22
  their
• 4:22
  own
• 4:22
  past,
• 4:23
  has
• 4:23
  taught
• 4:23
  me
• 4:23
  that
• 4:24
  control
• 4:24
  is
• 4:24
  mostly
• 4:25
  an
• 4:25
  illusion.
• 4:26
  You
• 4:27
  do
• 4:27
  your
• 4:27
  best,
• 4:27
  you
• 4:28
  love
• 4:28
  deeply,
• 4:28
  and
• 4:28
  then
• 4:29
  life
• 4:29
  happens.
• 4:30
  And
• 4:30
  God
• 4:31
  seems
• 4:31
  to
• 4:31
  be
• 4:31
  especially
• 4:32
  good
• 4:32
  at
• 4:33
  showing
• 4:33
  up
• 4:33
  in
• 4:34
  the
• 4:34
  unchosen
• 4:35
  moments.
• 4:37
  Here's
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  second
• 4:37
  point
• 4:38
  to
• 4:38
  ponder.
• 4:39
  Joy
• 4:39
  is
• 4:39
  a
• 4:39
  sign
• 4:40
  of
• 4:40
  God's
• 4:40
  presence,
• 4:41
  not
• 4:41
  just
• 4:41
  correct
• 4:42
  belief.
• 4:43
  Philip
• 4:44
  goes
• 4:44
  to
• 4:44
  Samaria.
• 4:45
  This
• 4:45
  is
• 4:46
  already
• 4:46
  crossing
• 4:47
  a
• 4:47
  boundary.
• 4:48
  And
• 4:48
  what
• 4:48
  happens?
• 4:50
  Healing,
• 4:51
  liberation.
• 4:53
  And
• 4:53
  then
• 4:53
  this
• 4:53
  line
• 4:54
  that
• 4:54
  makes
• 4:54
  it
• 4:56
  that
• 4:56
  we
• 4:56
  might
• 4:58
  feel
• 4:58
  easy
• 4:58
  to
• 4:59
  miss
• 4:59
  in
• 4:59
  this
• 4:59
  passage,
• 5:00
  it
• 5:00
  says,
• 5:02
  and
• 5:02
  what?
• 5:03
  Joy
• 5:03
  in
• 5:03
  the
• 5:04
  city.
• 5:04
  Close
• 5:05
  quote.
• 5:06
  Progressive
• 5:07
  faith
• 5:07
  pays
• 5:08
  attention
• 5:08
  to
• 5:08
  fruit,
• 5:09
  not
• 5:10
  just
• 5:10
  formulas.
• 5:11
  Where
• 5:12
  people
• 5:12
  are
• 5:12
  becoming
• 5:12
  whole,
• 5:13
  where
• 5:13
  dignity
• 5:13
  is
• 5:13
  being
• 5:14
  restored,
• 5:15
  where
• 5:15
  joy
• 5:15
  is
• 5:15
  showing
• 5:16
  up,
• 5:17
  that's
• 5:17
  where
• 5:17
  God
• 5:17
  is
• 5:18
  moving.
• 5:19
  I've
• 5:19
  seen
• 5:19
  this
• 5:20
  over
• 5:20
  and
• 5:21
  over
• 5:21
  again
• 5:21
  in
• 5:21
  my
• 5:21
  life
• 5:21
  as
• 5:22
  I
• 5:22
  deal
• 5:22
  with
• 5:22
  cancer,
• 5:22
  impacted
• 5:23
  people.
• 5:24
  Sometimes
• 5:24
  hope
• 5:25
  doesn't
• 5:25
  come
• 5:25
  through
• 5:26
  the
• 5:26
  kind
• 5:26
  of
• 5:26
  the
• 5:26
  rote
• 5:27
  set
• 5:28
  answers.
• 5:28
  It
• 5:28
  comes
• 5:28
  through
• 5:29
  laughter.
• 5:30
  It
• 5:30
  comes
• 5:30
  through
• 5:30
  sharing
• 5:31
  experiences.
• 5:32
  It
• 5:32
  comes
• 5:32
  through
• 5:33
  believing
• 5:33
  in
• 5:34
  hope,
• 5:34
  through
• 5:34
  humor
• 5:35
  and
• 5:36
  through
• 5:36
  someone
• 5:37
  saying,
• 5:37
  thank
• 5:37
  you
• 5:38
  for
• 5:38
  helping
• 5:38
  me
• 5:38
  feel
• 5:38
  not
• 5:39
  alone.
• 5:40
  That
• 5:40
  sounds
• 5:41
  like
• 5:41
  the
• 5:41
  gospel
• 5:41
  good
• 5:41
  news
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  me.
• 5:44
  Here's
• 5:44
  a
• 5:45
  third
• 5:45
  point
• 5:45
  to
• 5:45
  ponder.
• 5:46
  The
• 5:46
  gospel
• 5:46
  is
• 5:46
  not
• 5:46
  about
• 5:47
  replacing
• 5:47
  one
• 5:47
  power
• 5:48
  system
• 5:48
  with
• 5:48
  another.
• 5:50
  Here's
• 5:50
  this
• 5:50
  guy
• 5:51
  Simon
• 5:51
  in
• 5:51
  this
• 5:52
  story,
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  magician.
• 5:53
  Remember
• 5:53
  him?
• 5:54
  He's
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  celebrity.
• 5:56
  He's
• 5:56
  the
• 5:57
  one
• 5:57
  who
• 5:57
  had
• 5:57
  everyone's
• 5:58
  attention.
• 5:58
  And
• 5:58
  Philip
• 5:59
  doesn't
• 5:59
  attack
• 5:59
  him,
• 6:00
  he
• 6:00
  doesn't
• 6:01
  shame
• 6:01
  him,
• 6:02
  he
• 6:02
  doesn't
• 6:02
  try
• 6:03
  to
• 6:03
  outperform
• 6:04
  him.
• 6:05
  He
• 6:05
  just
• 6:05
  points
• 6:05
  to
• 6:06
  a
• 6:06
  different
• 6:06
  kind
• 6:07
  of
• 6:07
  power,
• 6:08
  one
• 6:08
  rooted
• 6:09
  in
• 6:09
  healing,
• 6:09
  community
• 6:10
  and
• 6:10
  liberation.
• 6:10
  And
• 6:11
  even
• 6:11
  Simon.
• 6:12
  Then
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  magician
• 6:14
  is
• 6:14
  drawn
• 6:14
  in.
• 6:15
  And
• 6:16
  this
• 6:16
  matters.
• 6:16
  In
• 6:17
  a
• 6:17
  world
• 6:17
  obsessed
• 6:18
  with
• 6:18
  influencers
• 6:19
  and
• 6:19
  platforms
• 6:20
  and
• 6:21
  spiritual
• 6:21
  celebrities,
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  Kingdom
• 6:23
  of
• 6:23
  God
• 6:23
  isn't
• 6:23
  about
• 6:24
  who
• 6:24
  dazzles
• 6:24
  the
• 6:25
  crowd,
• 6:25
  is
• 6:25
  about
• 6:25
  who
• 6:26
  helps
• 6:26
  people
• 6:27
  stand
• 6:27
  up
• 6:27
  again.
• 6:29
  That's
• 6:29
  true
• 6:29
  in
• 6:29
  churches,
• 6:30
  it's
• 6:30
  true
• 6:30
  in
• 6:30
  families,
• 6:31
  it's
• 6:31
  true
• 6:31
  in
• 6:31
  communities,
• 6:32
  it's
• 6:32
  true
• 6:33
  in
• 6:33
  society
• 6:33
  as
• 6:33
  a
• 6:34
  whole.
• 6:35
  It's
• 6:35
  something
• 6:35
  that
• 6:36
  I
• 6:36
  have
• 6:36
  to
• 6:36
  remind
• 6:36
  myself
• 6:37
  of
• 6:37
  when
• 6:37
  I'm
• 6:37
  watching
• 6:38
  my
• 6:38
  favorite
• 6:38
  teams,
• 6:39
  the
• 6:39
  cold
• 6:39
  spacers
• 6:40
  and
• 6:40
  fever
• 6:40
  and
• 6:40
  kind
• 6:40
  of
• 6:40
  yell
• 6:41
  at
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  TV
• 6:42
  like
• 6:42
  a
• 6:42
  coach.
• 6:42
  Like
• 6:42
  the
• 6:43
  coach
• 6:43
  can
• 6:43
  hear
• 6:43
  me
• 6:44
  or
• 6:44
  something.
• 6:44
  Power
• 6:45
  doesn't
• 6:45
  always
• 6:45
  look
• 6:45
  like
• 6:46
  what
• 6:46
  we
• 6:46
  can
• 6:46
  expect,
• 6:46
  but
• 6:47
  transformation
• 6:48
  has
• 6:48
  a
• 6:48
  quieter,
• 6:49
  deeper
• 6:51
  strength.
• 6:52
  Here's
• 6:52
  an
• 6:53
  action
• 6:53
  step
• 6:53
  for
• 6:53
  the
• 6:53
  day.
• 6:55
  Simple
• 6:55
  invitation.
• 6:56
  Look
• 6:56
  for
• 6:56
  one
• 6:56
  place
• 6:56
  today
• 6:57
  where
• 6:57
  disruption
• 6:58
  might
• 6:58
  be
• 6:58
  opening
• 6:59
  space
• 6:59
  for
• 7:00
  compassion.
• 7:01
  Not
• 7:02
  a
• 7:02
  silver
• 7:02
  lining
• 7:03
  here,
• 7:04
  not
• 7:04
  forced
• 7:05
  positivity.
• 7:05
  Just
• 7:06
  the
• 7:06
  question,
• 7:07
  how
• 7:07
  might
• 7:07
  love
• 7:08
  show
• 7:08
  up
• 7:08
  here
• 7:09
  in
• 7:09
  the
• 7:10
  midst
• 7:10
  of
• 7:10
  this
• 7:10
  disruption?
• 7:11
  It
• 7:11
  could
• 7:11
  be
• 7:12
  a
• 7:12
  conversation,
• 7:12
  it
• 7:13
  could
• 7:13
  be
• 7:13
  a
• 7:13
  joke,
• 7:13
  it
• 7:14
  could
• 7:14
  be
• 7:14
  just
• 7:14
  a
• 7:14
  moment
• 7:15
  of
• 7:15
  lightness,
• 7:16
  or
• 7:16
  could
• 7:16
  be
• 7:16
  an
• 7:16
  act
• 7:16
  of
• 7:17
  kindness.
• 7:17
  Sometimes
• 7:18
  the
• 7:18
  gospel
• 7:18
  spreads
• 7:19
  not
• 7:19
  because
• 7:19
  life
• 7:20
  is
• 7:20
  easy,
• 7:21
  but
• 7:21
  because
• 7:21
  people
• 7:22
  choose
• 7:22
  love.
• 7:23
  Anyway,
• 7:25
  good
• 7:26
  stuff.
• 7:27
  We're
• 7:27
  gonna
• 7:27
  come
• 7:27
  back
• 7:27
  and
• 7:27
  have
• 7:27
  a
• 7:28
  closing
• 7:28
  prayer.
• 7:28
  I
• 7:28
  just
• 7:28
  want
• 7:28
  to
• 7:29
  remind
• 7:29
  you
• 7:29
  that
• 7:29
  we
• 7:29

• 7:29
  a

  didn't

  to

  be.

  When

  life

  disrupted,

  when
