Well, I didn't get back to posting our Bible Studies like I had planned. We've had some great ones, though, and I hope to get some more posted soon. ["Soon", meaning, "no one really knows when, but it will happen one of these days". ;-) ] Here is a continuation of Acts.
Chapter 8
1) Who was the magician in Samaria, ans how did he react to Phillip's preaching?
2) Scripture says that, although the Samaritan converts had been baptized, the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen upon them. How did they receive the Holy Spirit, and by whom?
2a) Can you think of a Sacrament we have today, which is given after Baptism, where the Holy Spirit strengthens us to go out and bring the Gospel to others?
3) What did the magician try to do when he saw this?
4) How did Peter react? (Quote him in verse 20.)
5) When Philip asks the eunuch if he understands what he is reading, what is the eunoch's reply?
