Acts 8
Contemporary English Version
8 1-2 Saul approved the stoning of Stephen. Some faithful followers of the Lord buried Stephen and mourned very much for him.
Saul Makes Trouble for the Church
At that time the church in Jerusalem suffered terribly. All of the Lord's followers, except the apostles, were scattered everywhere in Judea and Samaria. 3 Saul started making a lot of trouble for the church. He went from house to house, arresting men and women and putting them in jail.
The Good News Is Preached in Samaria
4 The Lord's followers who had been scattered went from place to place, telling the good news. 5 Philip went to the city of Samaria and told the people about Christ. 6 They crowded around Philip because they were eager to hear what he was saying and to see him work miracles. 7 Many people with evil spirits were healed, and the spirits went out of them with a shout. A lot of paralyzed and lame people were also healed. 8 Everyone in that city was very glad because of what was happening.
Jesus and the Disciples did not teach, only, in Church Services, but took the Church (themselves) out to, and among the Lost. If you go to a Christian Service you must realize you are the Church and to become like Yashua, you must explain to folks what you have learned, not to become a mega-teacher, but to explain why you do not want them to suffer eternally and what they need to do to go, instead, to Heaven. Just a telling discussion of the truth.
