23.05.08 “Lydia!” (Acts 16:13-15)

 

Are you a person who loves water?  I mean lakes or oceans or rivers type of water. This weekend I left you standing on the riverbank of a river outside the city of Philippi in the region of Macedonia, toward the beginning of the year 50ad. We weren't there alone, for we had followed the apostle Paul, Silas, Timothy and Dr. Luke.  Why to a river? Because it was the Sabbath and normally Paul would always seek out the Synagogue of a new town on the Sabbath, seeking the opportunity to speak there as a former Pharisee and then introduce the Gospel of Jesus the Messiah. But for the first time, on this Paul's second missionary journey, Paul and his team had reached a large city, to which God had led them, but there was no Synagogue, or at least Paul had not yet found it.   (Click here to see full text, images and links)    Today's Scripture is Acts 16:13-15. Choose below to read or listen.​​ Pastor Doug Anderson    262.441.8785   “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2) Have a comment or question about today’s chapter? I’m ready to hear from you, contact me here.
