Acts Overview: The Gospel Goes to Samaria

About this episode

The episode discusses Philip's ministry in Samaria and its parallels to Jesus' work.

When persecution scatters the church beyond Jerusalem, Philip takes the gospel to Samaria—a region synonymous with religious syncretism and idolatry for centuries. In this episode, David, Christine, and Josh explore how Philip's ministry mirrors Jesus' own work, bringing healing and freedom to a people long excluded from God's family.
