  • Acts 8:26-40

  • Was the eunuch a Jew? It’s possible. The scripture does not specifically say.

  • He put forth much effort to worship God.

  • Acts 8:27-28 - He was traveling several hundred miles to worship God and had acquired scripture to read from on his trip.

  • Do we put forth this much effort?

  • I Peter 2:2 - We should long for the scripture.

  • I Timothy 4:6 - We are to be nourished on the words of the faith.

  • Romans 3:1

  • He was humble.

  • II Kings 5:1 - Naaman let his pride get in the way of serving God.

  • Acts 8:27-30 - The eunuch displayed no arrogance when Philip met him.

  • Note: This was not Philip the apostle. He was one of the seven men chosen in Acts 6:5.

  • I Timothy 1:6-7 - The Ethiopian did not bluff his knowledge and neither should we.

  • He didn’t procrastinate.

  • Acts 24:25 - Felix procrastinated when he heard Paul.

  • We must not put off serving God. Serve Him today, don’t wait for some perfect time in the future to be spiritual!

  • If we serve God we can go on our way rejoicing like the eunuch!

  • Defining homosexuality

  • Leviticus 20:13 - Homosexuality is described as an act in the Old Testament.

  • Leviticus 18:22

  • See also Leviticus 20:10-26.

  • Some contend that these verses are only talking about temple prostitution. This does not fit the context, though.

  • Genesis 19

  • Lot was trying to protect his visitors from the rampant homosexuality in the city.

  • Some claim it was rape and not homosexuality that Sodom was guilty of. The rape aspect was certainly wrong, but the homosexual perversion in the city was also wrong.

  • See Jude 1:6-7.

  • Matthew 19

  • Some argue that Jesus never dealt with homosexuality. See Matthew 19:4-6. He implicitly dealth with the subject in His teaching on marriage and divorce. The apostles also spoke on Jesus’ authority.

  • Romans 1:22-32

  • This passage clearly shows that homosexuality is prohibited under the New Covenant.

  • I Corinthians 6:9-11

  • I Timothy 1:8-11
