Acts 9:31-43
8/13/2000
Simon Peter, the preacher of Pentecost and the pastor
of the Jerusalem church is on the road again. So the
camera of Scripture moves from Saul, who has recently
been converted and is now off to Tarsus, back to Simon
Peter. For a few chapters now we will look at Simon
Peter again. We discover in verse 32 that he has what
we might call an itinerant or a traveling ministry.
Some call it a wider ministry.

about him going down to the city of Samaria. When
they heard that Samaritans were being saved, they sent
for Simon Peter and John and they went. They saw what
God was doing and they were glad. God was beginning
to expand the understanding of Simon Peter.
In Acts 1:8 the Lord said, "ye shall be witnesses unto

move Simon Peter out. God is getting ready to have
major breakthrough. The Gentiles are going to hear
about the Lord Jesus. That's me and you, if you're
not a Jew. It's because of the command of our Lord
Jesus Christ to go into all o ...
