Discern, Discover, Determine, and Decide (Acts 8:26-40) We often hear that we are called to share our faith with others. However, fear of rejection, a sense of inadequacy, and the business of life often keep us from doing what we are called to do.

In order for us to understand what went wrong we have to look at God’s plan for creation in the original story and see why Jesus needed to come.
