Ep 21: Acts 8: Philip & the Ethiopian Eunuch
In episode 21 of Wait, That’s in Acts?, Sharon records solo from her home office to finish Acts 8, as she walks through Acts 8:25–40, highlighting Philip’s obedience in leaving revival in Samaria for a desert road, where the Spirit leads him to an Ethiopian eunuch—an educated, wealthy court official of Candace who had traveled to Jerusalem to worship and was reading Isaiah. Sharon explains the eunuch’s context, then unpacks Isaiah 53:7–8 as Philip preaches Jesus as the suffering Messiah. Seeing unexpected water in the desert, the eunuch is baptized by immersion, and rejoices as Philip is snatched away to Azotus and continues preaching to Caesarea.
