“The Way” Screen 1 Acts 19:1-23 November 5, 2017
(“A Journey” = “A Way” - Use this phrase all throughout the sermon.)
Several weeks ago we began our way in the Book of Acts by discussing “God’s Screen 2 Secret To Church Growth” (Acts 8:26-40). Philip, the evangelist leads the Ethiopian eunuch to the Lord, bap zes him and then, “poof” disappears into another town and keeps right on preaching. The Ethiopian eunuch who “went on his way rejoicing” (vs. 39) is the very first Gen le convert in the book of Acts. Then, we discussed the following week the “Winning A tudes” of Paul and Silas (Acts 16:16-34) as they led the Philippian jailer to the Lord and his whole household - bap zing all of them. Verse 34b says “And he rejoiced along with his en re household that he had believed in God.” This Philippian jailer is the very first European convert in the book of Acts. Paul and Silas led him to the Lord while on Paul’s second missionary journey.

On Paul’s first and second missionary journeys, Paul preached in new areas that had not heard the gospel yet - modern day Turkey/Asia and modern day Greece/ Europe.
