One Step Toward Reaching My One

Scripture
Acts 8:26-40

4 things about Philip and 1 thing about God.

  • Point 1 - Philip Wasn’t an Apostle — He Was a Servant
    He’s not the guy preaching on Pentecost. Philip was a deacon.  An ordinary believer used by an extraordinary God.
    If God can use Philip, He can use you to reach your one
 
  • Point 2 - Philip Moved When the Spirit Said Move
Philip didn’t get the whole plan.
He didn’t get the outcome.
He didn’t get a blueprint.
He got one step.

Are we looking for destination instead of direction?

  • Point 3 – Philip Closed the Distance 
The Bible says Philip ran to the chariot.
He didn’t hesitate.
He didn’t wait to be invited.
He didn’t say, ‘Lord, if this is really You, make the chariot stop.’”
He simply closed the distance God pointed out.
If you are going to reach your one, you have to close the distance.
 
 
  • Point 4 -  Philip Started With a Conversation — Not a Presentation 
Philip doesn’t walk up with a sermon.
He doesn’t start with a debate.
He asks a question:
‘Do you understand what you’re reading?’
Evangelism begins with conversation, not confrontation.
Relationship, not argument. Curiosity, not pressure.

  • Point 5 - God Was Already Working Before Philip Showed Up 
When Philip gets there, the man is already reading Isaiah 53 — the passage about Jesus!
Your obedience doesn’t start God’s work in someone’s life — it joins it.
When you follow the leading of the Spirit and take one step toward your one… you are stepping into God’s story.
