Acts 8:26-39

Instead, the man Philip talks to is eager to hear about Jesus and even asks to be baptized... doesn't have to be talked into it. And then the man Philip baptized goes on his way rejoicing.
How many of you would sign up to talk to someone about Jesus IF you thought that would be the result almost every time? (Almost everyone put their hands up)
Well... have I got a deal for you. Right here in this text is a recipe for success like that. A recipe on how to talk to people about Jesus and changing their lives. And I'm so convinced that this will be a success that I am personally going to invest my time in ma ...
