I started the Bible Study last night with a discussion of 'soul sleep' from the last word of Acts 7 linked to 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. From this I went into Acts 8 covering the section about the church being persecuted and scattered + Philip in Samaria + Simon the sorcerer. In verses 14-17 we covered the difficult section of the receiving of the Holy Spirit by the Samarians. It all went well and was a blessing for the 33 people taking part via Google Meet.
This was followed by Philip and his serenade of old hymns which is very popular and which went very well again. It is interesting to observe how many backslidden Christians are attracted by this and request certain hymns to be sung. It's good Philip has an amazing memory! We pray God will touch these people far from God through this means. We certainly will miss Philip when he returns to England with his family as he plans to.
