Jason, Tony, Justin, and Jordan share stories of planned and spontaneous baptisms, including students at MSU, families driving in from out of state, and people who responded in the moment.\nFrom there, they unpack Acts 8 and Philip’s encounter with the Ethiopian man, exploring how quickly the gospel begins to reach “the ends of the earth” in ways that don’t always look obvious or spectacular. They also talk about how to discern when God is prompting you to do something, how to “test” those promptings with Scripture, community, and wisdom, and what it means to be faithful in seemingly small moments that God can turn into deep transformation. They close with a behind-the-scenes look at how they handled the more complex parts of the passage (like the eunuch) and how they think about sermon titles, tone, and what does—or doesn’t—make it into a Sunday message.\nListen to Justin's message\nListen to Hezekiah's message\nListen to Jordan's message\nListen to Tony's message\nSubscribe to our Messages podcast (Apple Podcasts / Spotify)\nDownload a copy of the One More Series Journal\nVisit us online: rivchurch.com\nFollow us on Instagram\nSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/0KRCuZTsmlD42XKqZAcPfqpdrJ4R79JRzQwsILkyc2Q/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ4MjkyLzE3MDQy/NDIwNjItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
