Will You Be a Gospel Christian?
Acts 21:8-9
A gospel Christian must be a gospel servant (willing to humbly serve in the local church and follow Christ’s example), a gospel soul-winner (obedient to the Great Commission and the day-by-day leading of the Holy Spirit) and a gospel supporter (encouraging, praying for, and financially backing those who carry the gospel so they can keep moving forward).

Still Influencing
Acts 21:8-9
Philip had a powerful influence on his own children. His daughters prophesied, fulfilling Joel’s promise and the Pentecost outpouring. Our work of spreading the gospel begins at home: children are a heritage, and we must raise young men and women as witnesses who will multiply the gospel message beyond our lifetimes.

Still Helping
Acts 21:8-9
Philip is not only a model of evangelism, but also the often-neglected ministry of helps. Philip had a servant heart, as evidenced from his service as one of the seven deacons to his ongoing evangelistic witness, as well as his hospitality in Acts 21 where Paul and the missionary band stayed in his home.

Still Witnessing
Acts 21:8-9
Philip exemplified a Great Commission mindset — not merely by traveling but by faithfully taking the gospel to his neighbors, the incarcerated (including Paul’s prison ministry), and the surrounding region that fed into Rome and beyond. The gospel is good news meant to be shared; "go" is an attitude as much as a geography, and faithful witness can happen across the street in everyday relationships, as well as around the world.

Still Faithful
Acts 21:8-9
Where you will be spiritually 20 years from now? The "prime of life" is not a season, it is when we are in the center of God’s will. We are called to persistent faithfulness, with the responsibility to be gospel witnesses regardless of gifting or station.

Great Joy in that City
Acts 8:5-8
From this study, we learn to: (1) tell the lost of Jesus, (2) both speak and show the gospel, and (3) depend on divine power — expecting God to move, even amid spiritual opposition and warfare. We are to love people where we are, finding our Jerusalem and sharing the gospel locally, being doers and not just hearers of the Word. This way, we can bring great joy to our city.

Unlikely Circumstances and Unlovely Places
Acts 8:4-5
God uses unlikely circumstances and unlovely places to gather sinners to Himself. The disciples were scattered after persecution, but God’s ways are higher than ours, and this divine strategy was used to spread the gospel. We must bring the gospel to the neglected, despised, and out-of-the-way places and people, because "the ground is level at the foot of the cross.". Listen for encouragement to trust God’s higher purposes, to embrace mission in unlikely places, and to join in the harvest God is already preparing.

Seeing the Lord in the Scattering
Acts 8:1-5
There is a difference between God’s “scattering” (like sowing seed) and Satan’s destructive scattering. From Stephen’s martyrdom to the scattering of the early church, we can see how the gospel moves forward even through suffering and upheaval. Following Christ often brings opposition, but persecution historically has expanded the reach of the gospel. Be a servant where God has placed you, because every believer can play a part in advancing the gospel.

Can God Use You?
Acts 6:1-5
Philip was a faithful Christian and served as a deacon, becoming the model of someone whom God can use. Three marks made Philip usable: being in the family of God, living a faithful life of integrity (an "honest report"), and being filled with the Holy Spirit, which produces wisdom and power. God is looking for usable people - people who are yielded and surrendered to Christ. Examine your own faith, commitment, and Spirit-filled walk; understand that true service begins with who you are, not just what you do; and embrace the call to advance the gospel.

A Gospel Christian
Acts 21:8-9
Join Scott Pauley for the first episode In this exciting series as he begins a study called "The Gospel Christian." The word "gospel" literally means "good news" and even contains the idea of "go!" The Christian life is meant to advance the message of Christ to others. A "Gospel Christian" Is someone who not only believes and obeys the gospel, but allows it to control and shape every part of their life. Scott Pauley uses the life of Philip the Evangelist as the Spirit-inspired model of a gospel-centered life, tracing Philip’s ministry from his appointment in Acts 6 to his ministry in Caesarea (Acts 21), noting Philip’s role as an evangelist.
