Have you ever puzzled over God’s guidance or even silence concerning next steps in your life? In Acts 16, none other than the Apostle Paul walks through such a time of waiting and demonstrates how to respond. He also answers the Macedonian call, leads a businesswoman to Christ, casts out a demon, and uses his Roman citizenship to protect the young church at Phillipi. Here are some key lessons from this remarkable chapter.
Big Idea: The early church carried the gospel throughout the known world in approximately 30 years and transformed an empire in 3 centuries. Now the church seems intimidated, uncertain amidst swift cultural changes. So, what did the early Christians, commanded by Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, do that we are not doing? Here are their Acts, and may they inspire our own.
Outline:
- Paul’s Protege
- The Mysterious Directions
- A Gospel Expedition
- A Great Quake
Key Takeaways:
- Don’t do ministry alone.
- Trust in the go and the no.
- Praise God at midnight.
