Acts 8:1-8 - Snaphot #2 of a Deacon - Philip

Pt 19 in the Acts sermon series.
In this passage, we take a look at another deacon in the First Century Church - Philip. Did he have the same qualifications, the same heart-attitude as Stephen, who not only served by the power of the Holy Spirit, but witnessed about the love of Jesus Christ in the face of death. Was this burning passion of the early church leaders lost after time, or is it something we should possess today.
