After a few weeks of stand-alone messages, we return to our sermon series from the New Testament book of Acts. We welcome Pastor Matthew Piersanti back to the Spencerville pulpit as he leads a study from chapter 8. In this message, we’ll encounter a sorcerer who has dedicated his life to Christ while still struggling with a deep desire that is typical to us all. What is his struggle, and how can we overcome these same pitfalls in our own lives?
