The Gospel Comes to Samaria
Introduction:
Not too long after the beginning of the church in Jerusalem, a great persecution arose against it. (Acts 8:1) “Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.” NKJV This began with the stoning of Stephen. Those Christians scattered throughout Judea and Samaria went preaching the word. (Acts 8:4) “Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.” NKJV The Bible records the preaching of one of these, Philip. Read Acts 6:5. “And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch,” NKJV
