STOP THE CHARIOT
Acts 8:26-40
Dr. Vines 8/3/86
I guess the reason I like this Scripture in a special way is because
every ingredient essential to bringing a soul to Jesus Christ is found in
these verses of Scripture right here. There is first of all the man who is
lost. Secondly, there is the Christian witness who is obedient. Thirdly, there

they were following him and accompanying him on his journey. We know he is a
man of great importance if we will just take a look at the chariot. Most folks
couldn't afford a chariot in those days and this is quite some chariot we are
riding in tonight. It's wha ...
