Advancement & Warning

We are studying Acts 8:9-25 tonight and the story of Simon the Magician.  As Philip continues his evangelization of Samaria he comes across a man of great renown named Simon.  Simon was performing great wonders, but nothing compared to what Phillip was now doing.  Through Philip's preaching many are believing in the Gospel and Simon himself believes and is baptized.  Luke's account, though, is not a celebration of another regenerate soul.  Rather, Luke is presenting us with a great warning in the midst of the advancement of Christ's Church.  Join us as we look at this critically important passage for the Church today.
