Acts 16:11-18 Come out of him Subject: 16. Power. 2006. 6. 4.
◎ Introduction
: Paul and his companions arrived in Philippi, and Lydia, a merchant, was the first convert in Europe.
※ Lydia is setting the example of a great convert who moved many people to believe in Christ (12-15).
※ It is a battle of abilities that appeared during evangelism. It is a scene where the power of sin that dominates mankind and the power of the name of Jesus oppose (16~18).
1. Immediate obedience to the call (11)
2. Lydia's Conversion (12-15)
3. Ability (16-18)
1. Immediate obedience to the Lord's call (11)
※ Since the path was decided, we did not delay and followed God's guidance.
※ The missionary trip was to help Europe in need of salvation and earnestly seek the glorious salvation of God and Jesus.
※ Question: If all the ministers who were called, all believers, all churches, and all common believers immediately obeyed, wouldn't everyone have already been saved?
my thoughts: no
2. Lydia's conversion (12-15): Paul's co-workers were Silas, Timothy, and Luke the physician.
※ The society at that time was an immoral society, where crime, immorality, and injustice were rampant.
* Religion and idols were seen as objects that radiate human instinctual desires and instincts.
* The gods were the gods of fertility, and the priests and priestesses were prostitutes.
* Corruption has become a common practice. This made it very difficult for people with moral standards, especially women, to live. So many converted to Judaism.
(Believed that God required a clean, holy life and a life that respected manners and order)
One). I went to a place of prayer on the Sabbath (12-13)
※ It was about a mile from the city, and because there were not enough Jews to build a synagogue, people went to the riverside to pray.
① The river provided water for the washing rituals included in Jewish ceremonies.
② Several Jews gathered to pray. there were only women
*Jewish law states that there must be at least ten men for the Torah (Torah) to be read.
2). Lydia listened (14)
① It was a business selling self-made textiles.
* Purple fabrics were used by Roman citizens and royalty.
