SHARING THE GOSPEL

OF JESUS
ACTS 8:26-39
I- SHARING THE GOSPEL JESUS IS FOR ALL
NATIONS, ALL CLASSES OF PEOPLE AND RACES.

This conversion of a black foreigner proved to the early church

that everyone is equal in the kingdom of God.* Revelation 5:9-10

The gospel is for all classes of people.

The Ethiopian was "important" (v. 27). Sometimes we

concentrate on the poor and needy; but rich, important people
also need Jesus. 1 Timothy 6:17-19
II- SHARING THE GOSPEL JESUS IS HARD TO
UNDERSTAND WITHOUT GOD’S
SPIRIT.(vv. 30-31).

1 Corinthians 2:14 ; John 14:26

III- SHARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS IS PRESENTING
THE TRUTH AND LEADS TO GENUINE CONVERSION.

Sincere seekers find Jesus.

The Ethiopian wanted to know the truth. Jeremiah 29:13

Genuine conversion is more than words.

The Ethiopian wanted to be baptized immediately (v. 36).

1 Thessalonians 1:4-10
IV. SHARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS
BRINGS JOY.

• Knowing and Doing the will of God brings joy (v. 39).
John 15:10-11
• Doing the will of God brings joy. (Philipp)
