Sermon: Placed for a Purpose | Pastor Ben Berteau | Fifth Sunday of Easter

Our Epistle Reading (Acts 8:26-40) relays the experience of an Ethiopian eunuch struggling to understand the book of Isaiah, particularly Isaiah 53, which prophesies Jesus' sacrifice. Philip, guided by the Holy Spirit, helps him comprehend the message, leading to the eunuch's baptism. Pastor Ben's sermon draws parallels between the eunuch's confusion and our own need for guidance in faith. He emphasizes the importance of community, our shared past of brokenness, and our role in sharing the Gospel. We are encouraged as believers to recognize God's purpose in our everyday lives, prompting an openness to divine opportunities for sharing our faith.
