Our series in Acts continues with, "The (not so) New Way." We take a bit of a deeper dive into who Saul/Paul was. Who was he, what was his background, education, why was he so passionate? Pastor Josiah points out how important Paul's background really was and how God used it to move His plan forward. In response to understanding Paul, and his story it leads us to 2 important questions we need to ask ourselves. How can God use my background/past to be a part of moving his plan forward? What is the driving force behind what I am passionate about?

But is really someone who we should look to as an example of impacting the world for God's name rather than our own.

Week 4 of our series "The (not so) New Way, Pastor Josiah walk us through Acts chapter 8 and shows us how even though Stephen's death was tragic, that it would not prevent God's plan from moving forward. We look at Philip another chosen for a specific task, and how he did not disqualify himself to do what God was asking him to do. Which poses a question for us, are we disqualifying ourselves from doing what God is asking us to do or are we willing and available?

We look at his character and what the speech he gave to the counsel can mean for us today. How do we look at history and our own traditions?
