March 2, 2014 Speaker: Phil Baker Series: Acts

Topic: Book Exposition Passage: Acts 16:11–15

Overview

The Aposlte Paul took his team and crossed the Aegean Sea to visit and evangelize Philippi.  While in the city he discovered that there were no synagogues or leading Jewish men.  He met a God-fearer named Lydia near the riverside and began to preach the gospe to herl.  God supernaturally opened her heart to hear, understand, and respond to Paul's message.  After being baptized, Lydia invited the apostle and his companions to stay at her house.  Lydia was the first believer in Philippi and her home became the gathering place for the first Philippian church.
