Acts 8:6

And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

1. Here we must pay close attention to the wording.

1. They heeded the things spoken - They listened to the message, the preaching, the sermons of Philip. They heard the word and received the gospel of God.

2. They saw the miracles - Philip did work miracles among them. The miracles did not teach, save, convert anyone.

2. The purpose of miracles was to confirm the word. The miracles did not convert them. The miracles caused the people to pay attention to the message. Miracles were the attention getters.
