Week 1 - Bible Study 1 (Acts 16)
Dear brothers and sisters,
If you have a good memory, our bible study sessions ended last term at Acts 15, when Paul and Silas set off on their second missionary trip. This Wednesday we will begin from here and look at what happened next.
A brief introduction: (Acts 16)
This is one of the most dramatic chapters in Acts
- Timothy joined Paul and Silas in their missionary work at Lystra
- on their way to Asia they were kept from preaching by the Holy Spirit
- at Philippi, Lydia the woman dealer in purple cloth was converted
- Paul casted out a demon from a possessed slave girl and both Paul and Silas were therefore sent to jail
- Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to God in prison when a violent earthquake occured and all the prison doors flew open
- Paul and Silas saved a jailer from commiting suicide and he and his family came to believe in God
- Paul and Silas were finally released from prison
Wow just look at how many things happened in this one chapter! Getting excited? Wanting to know more about the details and the whats and whys? Come join us at the bible study this Wednesday and discuss with the others on this dramatic journey of Paul and Silas.
