(ESV)

(ESV) Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place.

(ESV) And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship

(ESV) and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.

(ESV) And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.”

(ESV) So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?”

(ESV) And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

(ESV) Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opens not his mouth.

(ESV) In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth.”

(ESV) And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?”

(ESV) Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus.

(ESV)

(ESV) And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?”

(ESV) And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

(ESV) And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing.

(ESV) But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

In Pursuit of Knowing Him

CAMP in the Word

The Bible was given to us to change our lives not just to increase our knowledge…

Getting to know God thru studying His Word

How is God revealing himself to me through his word today?

Joh

3 And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

Act

============================

Capture Key Thought(s):

- God gave specific yet open-ended direction to Philip

- Philip obeyed

- Philip acted on what he knew with what he had

- God used Philip’s obedience to open the door for the eunuch

Analyze the Key

What eternal principles does this show me?

- Obedience isn’t knowing everything then acting

- God is looking for faith in action

- God can use our finite capabilities to accomplish His infinite and perfect plans

Meditate on the Key

What am I going to do about this?

Jas

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Act boldly in obedience

Walk confidently in faith

Ask “What would God have me do here and now?” Then do it!!

Pass it on

Heb

24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,

25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Share what you learn - in an encouraging way - with those God brings into your life
