John 1:1-18

We focus on Philippians 2:8 and marvel at Jesus' willingness to go to the depths of the valley of humiliation in obedience to his Father's will. His love for us took him to the cross. "Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!" (2 Corinthians 9:15)

In our passage this morning, Philip shares the good news about Jesus with an Ethiopian eunuch. It is undoubtedly true that we live in strange times, but that is not a new phenomenon for the church.

A challenge to be stirred into action by the wind of the Spirit.
John 3:1-8
