Philip and the Ethiopian
from Sojourner Storycast: Church History for Kids and Families · host Faithstead
In this Sojourner Storycast episode, we follow the amazing story of Philip and the Ethiopian man on a desert road. Through their encounter, we see how the good news about Jesus doesn’t stay in one place—it goes wherever God sends it. God’s plan was always to bring people close to Him through Jesus, no matter where they come from or what their story is. From Jerusalem to a quiet desert road, the Spirit of God is still at work, leading people into truth and new life.On a hot, empty road between Jerusalem and Gaza, Philip is sent by an angel of the Lord to a place that seems quiet and far away. At the same time, an Ethiopian official is traveling home in his chariot, reading from the book of Isaiah and trying to understand what it means. When Philip runs up beside him, he hears him reading and begins to explain how those words point to Jesus—the One who suffered, died, and rose again.As they travel together, they come to some water, and the eunuch asks to be baptized right away. In that moment, he believes the good news that nothing stands in the way of coming to God through Jesus. And just like that, his life is changed as he goes on his way rejoicing.Scripture: Acts 8:26–40; Isaiah 53; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:14–15; Ephesians 2:13–18This episode is part of the Sojourner Storycast—a storytelling series for kids, teens, and families that weaves Scripture together to show how God faithfully works through His people to accomplish His perfect plan.
