Topic: Belonging

Pastor Wes reflects on the transformative encounter between Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch as described in Acts 8:23-36, 38. He emphasizes the unexpected nature of their meeting, highlighting Philip’s obedience to God’s call to travel a wilderness road without a clear destination. This journey leads Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch, a high-ranking official searching for spiritual understanding. Their interaction, culminating in the eunuch’s baptism, serves as a powerful example of breaking societal and religious barriers. Pastor Wes challenges the congregation to consider their own journeys, the friendships formed along the way, and the importance of embracing inclusivity and belonging within the church community.
