Acts Series 

Message: 15

Episode: 2 of 3

Broadcast: January 7, 2026

Key Verses: Acts 8:1-25

In this episode of Walk in Truth, Pastor Michael Lantz teaches through Acts 8:1–25 in a message titled "The Church Persecuted and Scattered," showing how God uses even hardship and opposition to advance His gospel. As persecution intensifies and believers are forced from Jerusalem, the church doesn't shrink—it spreads, carrying the good news of Jesus into Samaria through faithful servants like Philip, where lives are transformed by the power of Christ and the truth of the Holy Spirit. This teaching encourages Christians that God is always at work, even in seasons of suffering or uncertainty, and equips listeners to apply God's truth to everyday life with courage, humility, and discernment. Above all, it points us back to Jesus—the reason for the season and the center of our faith—reminding us that no circumstance can stop His plan or silence His saving grace.

Welcome to Walk in Truth! These are the Bible teachings of Pastor Michael Lantz. Equipping you to reach out with God's truth to all people. And how to apply that truth to today's issues, trends, and culture.
