INTRODUCTION
Story of the Flight: Sometimes, God ________ our plans to connect us with someone who needs exactly what we have to offer.

GOD ORCHESTRATES THE UNEXPECTED
Philip's Calling: An angel tells Philip to leave successful ministry in Samaria and travel into the middle of nowhere

Philip's Response: "So he ________ out." No argument with the angel. No questions about strategy. God says 'go' and off Philip goes.

The Ethiopian Factor: This man is wealthy but spiritually ________, powerful but religiously ________, reading Scripture but lacking __________.

GOD BREAKS THROUGH BARRIERS WE DIDN'T EVEN SEE
Philip's Action: When the Holy Spirit tells Philip to walk alongside the chariot, Philip doesn't just walk - he ________.

The Key Question: Philip asks, "Do you ________ what you are reading?" His focus isn't on differences but on the spiritual hunger he hears.

Philip's Focus: Our eyes as Jesus' people always look for the ________ hunger embedded in every human heart.

Philip's Message: Jesus was excluded, so ________ ________ else has to be. Because of Jesus, no one and nothing can separate you from God.

GOD CREATES IMMEDIATE INCLUSION
The Baptism Question: "What ________ me from being baptized?" Look at the answer: Nothing. Not his race, social status, nationality, past, or questions.

The Result: "He went on his way ________." This is the joy of discovering that you're not an outsider anymore - you're family.

THREE PRACTICAL COMMITMENTS
1. Cultivate ________ Over Agenda
2. Practice ________ Over Prejudice
3. Embrace ________ Over Quick Answers

APPLICATION

The Invitation: Respond to God’s invitation to save you, teach you and guide you. Take your next step into new life.

The Ongoing Reality: God is still in the business of interrupting our plans to accomplish his purpose.
