Philip, a winsome person

Sonshine posted her study questions on the lesson, “Philip Consistency”. Instead of taking the “consistency” angle proposed by LifeWay, her questions focus on the idea that God wants us to share the gospel with all peoples. She asks, “Who are the Samaritans?” She goes further by asking, “Why is the Ethiopian conversion an important story for us?”

Frankly as I read the background passage, Acts 8:4-40, I’m still in awe of the unquestionable work of the Holy Spirit.

S. Wiley of Carmel Baptist offers a lesson plan that approaches the material with the idea that Philip was a winsome person. Consider asking class members to define winsome and ask them to call out names of people they consider to be winsome. Here is one example in the news.
