As we continue our journey with the early church, we see the encounter with Simon the Sorcerer. Simon wanted to buy the ability to give the Holy Spirit to others. From Acts 8, we learn that the power of God can never be bought. There are no shortcuts to God’s power. We can only attain this by truly surrendering to Him and His Word. The Holy Spirit can then work in our hearts and God’s true power can be displayed as we live in a way that points others to Him. The believers were scattered to make in a strong difference everywhere they went. We too are scattered every single week and can show the message of the Gospel through our very lives.
Scripture: Acts 8
