Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every
where preaching the word.
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and
PREACHED CHRIST unto them.
And the people with one accord gave heed unto those
things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the
miracles which he did.
For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of
many that were possessed with them: and many taken
with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
And there was great joy in that city.
Acts 8:4-8

1. Why do we preach Christ? Philip went to Samaria
and preached Christ to them. Why did Philip
preach about Christ?
Philip could have preached about how to provide water
for Samaria. Obviously, Samaria did not have pipe-borne
water at the time.

Philip could have preached about how to get electricity into
Samaria. Obviously Samaria did not have electricity.
Evangelist Philip could have spoken about building
universities.
Evangelist Philip could have talked about how to have
happy marriages.
Evangelist Philip could have told them bed time stories or
other fairy tales.
So why then did he preach about Christ?
