Samaria, Simon and Me
Nov 20, 2016 • Brad Mortensen
The spread of the gospel to the Samaritans has much to say to us as we live our lives during difficult times. The gospel comes to Samaria not because the church planned for it, but rather as a result of the rise of persecution causing believers to flee Jerusalem. As the gospel comes to Samaria, the Holy Spirit moves among the people and many come to believe and follow Jesus. Although there is much joy in what happens, Acts makes it clear that not all who say they believe actually do.
