Acts 8:1–8 and John 4:6–42.
With Saul leading persecution of christians, the fellowship scatters as ordained in Acts 1:8 to all of Judea and Samaria, spreading the good news of Jesus as they go. Phillip reaps the harvest sown by Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, performing great signs and wonders and bringing joy to the city.
3. a. People were scattered to all of Judea and Samaria preaching the word wherever they went
b. Assyria relo’d people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, Sepharvaim, and Jewish priests: Taught how to worship the Lord, they did, but also worshipped other god’s and followed other traditions.
4. He was were Jesus met with the Samaritan woman at the well: John 4:39-42 many believed because of woman and Jesus
5. (Challenge) a. John 4:9 For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.; Micah 1:5 What is Jacob’s transgression? Is it not Samaria? What is Judah’s high place? Is it not Jerusalem?
b. Pray for them, witness to them, look beyond the weeds and see the crops that God has planted.
Conclusion: That last line stuck with me – how often I am blinded by the weeds and completely miss what Christ has planted on the inside of peoples hearts.
