I don't ever see your husband; invite him to come with you. She said well uh, he doesn't like church and he won't come to church. Well just tell him I invited him to come. So the next Sunday the lady said to the pastor I gave him the message but he said I'm not going to come to church. If the pastor wants to see me he'll have to come and see me.

God is working on both ends of the equation. God is working in that Ethiopian Eunuch's mind and heart, he's reading the scripture. He's preparing that mind and heart for the gospel. Then he tells Philip to go chase that chariot. A couple of things you and I need to get nailed down. One is t ...
