WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.919 of Figra and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. 00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:14.500 When they came to the border of Maida, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the spirit of Jesus 00:00:14.500 --> 00:00:21.600 would not allow them to. So they passed by Maida and went down to Troas. During the night, 00:00:21.740 --> 00:00:27.199 Paul had a vision of a man in Macedonia standing and begging him, come over to Macedonia and help us. 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:35.859 After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. 00:00:36.899 --> 00:00:46.379 From Troas, we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrath and next on to Neapolis. 00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:54.700 From there, we travelled to Philippi, a Roman colony and leading city of that district of Macedonia, 00:00:54.700 --> 00:01:01.280 and we stayed there for several days. On the Sabbath, we went out to the city gate to the river, 00:01:01.700 --> 00:01:07.700 where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there. 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:14.560 One of those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Pyrotera, 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.480 who was a worshipper of God. 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.100 The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul's message. 00:01:21.740 --> 00:01:25.560 When she and the members of her household were baptised, she invited us to our home. 00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:30.420 If you consider me a believer in the Lord, she said, come and stay at my house. 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:32.000 And she persuaded us. 00:01:33.300 --> 00:01:36.000 Once we were going to the place of prayer, 00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:41.439 we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.579 She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. 00:01:46.299 --> 00:01:49.159 The girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:55.439 These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved. 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.939 She kept this up for many days. 00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:02.939 Finally, Paul became so troubled that he turned round and said to the spirit, 00:02:03.379 --> 00:02:06.599 In the name of Jesus Christ, I command you to come out of her. 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.180 At that moment, the spirit left her. 00:02:09.180 --> 00:02:14.599 When the owners of the slave girl realised that their hope of making money was gone, 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:20.300 they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities. 00:02:21.460 --> 00:02:24.200 They brought them before the magistrates and said, 00:02:24.939 --> 00:02:27.600 These men are Jews and are throwing our city in an uproar 00:02:27.600 --> 00:02:32.280 by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practise. 00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:36.939 The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, 00:02:36.939 --> 00:02:40.120 and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten. 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.479 After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, 00:02:45.020 --> 00:02:47.979 and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:54.400 Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. 00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:01.939 About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:04.159 and the other prisoners were listening to them. 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:09.580 Suddenly, there was a violent earthquake, and the foundations of the prison were shaken. 00:03:09.580 --> 00:03:16.120 At once, all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains became loose. 00:03:17.060 --> 00:03:19.840 The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:24.960 he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. 00:03:25.900 --> 00:03:26.700 But Paul shouted, 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.840 Don't harm yourself! We are all here! 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:35.180 The jailer called for lights, rushed in, and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:37.520 He then brought them out and asked, 00:03:38.140 --> 00:03:40.120 Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:41.740 They replied, 00:03:42.180 --> 00:03:46.699 Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household. 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.140 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and all the others in his house. 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.539 At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. 00:03:56.539 --> 00:03:59.699 Then immediately he and all his family were baptized. 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.739 The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them. 00:04:04.379 --> 00:04:09.479 He was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God, he and his whole family. 00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:14.919 When it was daylight, the magistrates sent their officers to the jailer with the order, 00:04:15.539 --> 00:04:16.339 Release those men! 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:18.439 The jailer told Paul, 00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:21.819 The magistrates have ordered that you and Silas be released. 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.259 Now you can leave. Go in peace. 00:04:24.259 --> 00:04:26.879 But Paul said to the officers, 00:04:27.719 --> 00:04:33.620 They beat us publicly without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens, and threw us into prison. 00:04:34.139 --> 00:04:37.019 And now, do they want us to get rid of us quietly? 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:40.219 No, let them come themselves and escort us out. 00:04:41.459 --> 00:04:43.939 The officers reported this to the magistrates, 00:04:44.379 --> 00:04:48.519 And when they heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were alarmed. 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:52.039 They came to appease them and escorted them out from the prison, 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.919 Requesting them to leave the city. 00:04:55.859 --> 00:04:57.879 After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.359 They went to Lydia's house, where they met with the brothers and encouraged them. 00:05:03.139 --> 00:05:03.839 Then they left. 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:20.559 Well, thanks Alex and Louise for reading. 00:05:20.799 --> 00:05:23.120 Please have your Bibles open there. 00:05:24.299 --> 00:05:25.239 Follow along. 00:05:25.799 --> 00:05:26.719 Take notes. 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:33.720 And if you have questions afterwards, or anything you'd like to discuss or think through about this passage, 00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:34.880 Or indeed anything else, 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.120 Please do that with me afterwards. 00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:39.720 Well, we're going to ask for God's help, 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.460 As we try and see how these incredible stories, 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:45.760 True stories, 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.200 Shape our lives today. 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:48.599 Let's pray. 00:05:48.599 --> 00:05:50.639 Let's pray. 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:51.060 Father, 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:59.300 We ask that you would open our minds to understand your word. 00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:01.759 Open up our hearts, 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:06.839 That we might receive from you all that you have to say. 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.159 And we pray for the help of your Holy Spirit, 00:06:14.159 --> 00:06:17.579 That he would breathe life into these words. 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.719 So that they change us individually, 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:26.099 And change us together as a church family. 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:29.959 So we ask for your help in this. 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:31.659 In Jesus' name. 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:32.920 Amen. 00:06:38.919 --> 00:06:42.159 Well, how great is God? 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:47.700 70% of the world's population, 00:06:48.100 --> 00:06:50.960 That's 4.9 billion people, 00:06:51.820 --> 00:06:53.800 Live in areas of the world, 00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:56.080 Where their governments and their leaders, 00:06:56.900 --> 00:06:58.740 Restrict and oppose, 00:06:59.540 --> 00:07:01.980 The moving out of the gospel. 00:07:02.780 --> 00:07:03.820 So for example, 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:05.680 If you lived in North Korea today, 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.800 And you were caught by the authorities, 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.400 With a Bible in your possession, 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:11.779 Or even within your home, 00:07:12.919 --> 00:07:16.319 You and three generations of your family, 00:07:16.479 --> 00:07:18.899 So that's you and possibly your children, 00:07:19.219 --> 00:07:20.419 And your parents, 00:07:21.179 --> 00:07:24.159 Would all be sent to a concentration camp. 00:07:25.239 --> 00:07:28.919 It's estimated that there are 70,000 Christians, 00:07:28.919 --> 00:07:30.699 In that country alone, 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:32.759 Living in such conditions. 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.480 Or if you lived in Pakistan, 00:07:37.339 --> 00:07:38.860 Or in parts of India, 00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:41.279 And you were to share, 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.180 Jesus with your neighbour, 00:07:45.159 --> 00:07:46.459 You could be run out, 00:07:46.659 --> 00:07:48.180 Or burnt out of your home, 00:07:48.939 --> 00:07:51.599 And you would almost certainly lose your job. 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.519 But let's bring it a little bit closer to home. 00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:57.839 Ireland, 00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:58.039 Ireland, 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.339 Which doesn't restrict religious freedom, 00:08:01.539 --> 00:08:04.000 We have liberty to talk about Jesus. 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:10.399 Well, Ireland still remains one of the most unreached countries in Europe. 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:15.500 So here is my question for us all this morning. 00:08:15.659 --> 00:08:20.839 How great is God to break down these barriers and obstacles, 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:28.019 So that the good news of Christ reaches the 70% enclosed countries, 00:08:28.719 --> 00:08:30.759 And the country of Ireland. 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:35.319 But let me make it more personal than that. 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.040 Who do you know, 00:08:38.540 --> 00:08:40.360 And picture them now in your minds, 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.400 Who do you know within the circle of your friends and family, 00:08:43.940 --> 00:08:45.800 That has not yet turned to Christ? 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.840 How great is God to open their hearts, 00:08:52.760 --> 00:08:55.280 So that they come to faith in Christ? 00:08:58.020 --> 00:09:00.700 Or maybe you're not yet a believer yourself, 00:09:01.880 --> 00:09:04.560 And you're always wondering and questions, 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:08.459 Well, how great is God to open your hearts, 00:09:09.139 --> 00:09:10.279 To come to faith? 00:09:12.079 --> 00:09:16.539 You see, it's very easy for us to become cynical and discouraged. 00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:20.639 We don't hear too much of people coming to faith in Christ, 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.219 Certainly not in big numbers. 00:09:23.119 --> 00:09:27.119 And so we begin to question and we doubt God's ability to save. 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:32.560 Well, Acts 16 is a tonic of encouragement, 00:09:32.560 --> 00:09:36.720 Because it reminds us that God is great, 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:43.299 And that God continues to open doors in amazing and incredible ways, 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:48.899 So that his mission and the name of Christ goes on. 00:09:48.899 --> 00:09:52.799 So we're going to look at a few things here that shows us that. 00:09:52.899 --> 00:09:55.419 First of all, God directs his mission. 00:09:55.579 --> 00:09:56.840 Verse 6, 00:09:59.259 --> 00:10:00.480 Chapter 16. 00:10:03.319 --> 00:10:05.000 Paul and his companions, 00:10:05.439 --> 00:10:07.279 At this stage it's a team, 00:10:07.980 --> 00:10:09.600 Which includes Silas, 00:10:10.100 --> 00:10:11.779 A young guy called Timothy, 00:10:11.899 --> 00:10:12.819 Who they've picked up, 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:13.799 And Luke, 00:10:13.899 --> 00:10:15.960 Who is the author of Acts. 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:18.120 So these four together in a team. 00:10:19.139 --> 00:10:23.220 They've travelled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia. 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.320 Well, why did they decide to go to those places? 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:28.879 Well, we're told, read on. 00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:32.360 They've been kept by the Holy Spirit 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:36.700 From preaching the word in the province of Asia. 00:10:38.460 --> 00:10:40.280 Now a map will help us here. 00:10:40.379 --> 00:10:42.280 There we are, on the screen. 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.279 Paul has been travelling from Antioch. 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.480 That's been his local church. 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:48.959 He's been sent out from there. 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.779 And in Phrygia and Galatia, 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.019 He's seen lots of new churches planted. 00:10:54.220 --> 00:10:55.279 People have come to faith. 00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.679 They've joined together and churches have started. 00:10:58.159 --> 00:10:59.659 And as he's moved on from there, 00:10:59.740 --> 00:11:01.199 He's thinking, right, where to next? 00:11:01.259 --> 00:11:03.079 And they try to go to Asia. 00:11:05.500 --> 00:11:08.919 But they've been stopped from bringing the good news. 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:10.679 The Spirit won't allow them. 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:14.479 Now it would make sense if we read something like this, 00:11:14.539 --> 00:11:17.379 That the local authorities wouldn't allow them to go through. 00:11:17.959 --> 00:11:21.599 Or if the river had flooded and the road wasn't accessible. 00:11:22.179 --> 00:11:23.739 We could kind of understand that. 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.839 But when it says so clearly that the Holy Spirit 00:11:26.839 --> 00:11:29.099 Wouldn't allow them to go into Asia, 00:11:29.179 --> 00:11:30.779 We're kind of boggled by that. 00:11:33.019 --> 00:11:33.859 Verse 7. 00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:37.259 So when they came to the border of Mycenae, 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:38.960 They tried to enter Bithynia, 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.320 Which was kind of up in the northeast. 00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:44.940 But the Spirit of Jesus 00:11:44.940 --> 00:11:47.539 Would not allow them to. 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:50.779 So they passed by Mycenae, 00:11:50.779 --> 00:11:52.840 And they went on down to Troas. 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.019 It really is quite strange, isn't it? 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:57.539 Because at the beginning of Acts, 00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:00.940 We read about Jesus who promised the Holy Spirit to come, 00:12:00.940 --> 00:12:04.280 Who would enable them to bring the good news of people 00:12:04.280 --> 00:12:05.460 To new people, 00:12:05.800 --> 00:12:06.980 And to new places, 00:12:06.980 --> 00:12:09.080 And he was going to open up doors to do that. 00:12:09.160 --> 00:12:10.720 But now it seems he's blocking 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.440 And frustrating their every move. 00:12:14.680 --> 00:12:16.240 So why is this happening? 00:12:17.280 --> 00:12:18.140 Well we're told, 00:12:18.300 --> 00:12:19.620 Verse 9. 00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:21.720 During the night, 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:22.740 Paul had a vision 00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:25.379 Of a man of Macedonia, 00:12:25.539 --> 00:12:25.980 Which is, 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.080 As we know as Greece today, 00:12:28.659 --> 00:12:30.060 Standing and begging him, 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:31.960 Come over to Macedonia 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:33.120 And help us. 00:12:34.539 --> 00:12:36.240 After Paul had seen the vision, 00:12:36.419 --> 00:12:37.840 We got ready at once 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.399 To leave for Macedonia, 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:40.460 Concluding, 00:12:41.060 --> 00:12:42.620 Obviously they'd prayed about it 00:12:42.620 --> 00:12:43.680 And talked about it, 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:44.779 But they concluded 00:12:44.779 --> 00:12:46.019 That God had called us 00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:47.240 To preach the gospel 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:48.419 To them. 00:12:48.419 --> 00:12:51.939 Now for us to try and figure out 00:12:51.939 --> 00:12:53.299 What did the Spirit say? 00:12:53.419 --> 00:12:55.179 Or how did the Spirit lead them? 00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:56.939 Or what was the vision like? 00:12:57.139 --> 00:12:58.659 Is to miss the point. 00:12:59.019 --> 00:13:00.639 That's not what the text is about. 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.240 It's simply to reassure us 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:04.199 That God, 00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:05.379 By his Spirit, 00:13:06.139 --> 00:13:08.139 Directs his mission 00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:10.259 In all kinds of ways 00:13:10.259 --> 00:13:11.399 All of the time. 00:13:12.439 --> 00:13:14.919 It's God who closes one door, 00:13:15.779 --> 00:13:17.620 But then he opens up another door. 00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:19.519 And in this case, 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.879 It was a door into mainland Europe. 00:13:23.980 --> 00:13:25.980 The promise that the good news 00:13:25.980 --> 00:13:28.340 Would go into the ends of the earth 00:13:28.340 --> 00:13:30.659 From Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria 00:13:30.659 --> 00:13:32.299 To the ends of the earth 00:13:32.299 --> 00:13:35.039 Is beginning to be worked out. 00:13:35.899 --> 00:13:37.060 God has a plan, 00:13:37.179 --> 00:13:38.159 He's sticking to it, 00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:39.120 And it's happening. 00:13:40.539 --> 00:13:41.820 Now later on, 00:13:42.019 --> 00:13:43.460 In Acts chapter 19, 00:13:44.259 --> 00:13:46.820 We do read that Paul did get to Asia. 00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:49.919 And in verse 10 of chapter 19, 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:50.539 We read, 00:13:50.899 --> 00:13:52.560 So that all the Jews and Greeks 00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:54.220 Who lived in the province of Asia 00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:56.759 Heard the word of the Lord. 00:13:57.639 --> 00:13:59.919 So God was not ignoring these people 00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:01.019 In these other places. 00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:02.440 It was simply 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.259 That it was not God's time. 00:14:05.259 --> 00:14:10.240 And we might not always understand God's ways, 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.679 But we can always trust that God is at work. 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.080 God is in supreme control over my life, 00:14:20.139 --> 00:14:21.100 Over your life, 00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:24.179 Over every single event in your life, 00:14:25.179 --> 00:14:27.179 And over his mission. 00:14:27.179 --> 00:14:31.339 And he will order everything in such a way 00:14:31.339 --> 00:14:34.339 That his will is done. 00:14:36.739 --> 00:14:39.339 So we may long and we may pray 00:14:39.339 --> 00:14:41.199 For the people of North Korea 00:14:41.199 --> 00:14:43.839 And long that they are reached. 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:48.639 We may be praying for somebody in our family 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:51.460 Or a friend, 00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:53.199 That they would become a Christian. 00:14:54.460 --> 00:14:56.580 We've maybe sought opportunity 00:14:56.580 --> 00:14:57.879 After opportunity 00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:59.639 To witness to a colleague, 00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:02.159 But it just seems the door is closed 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:03.740 And we're not getting anywhere. 00:15:05.019 --> 00:15:07.740 Well, all of those desires are not wrong. 00:15:07.740 --> 00:15:10.080 They're wonderfully healthy and good 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:11.699 And they're God-promoted. 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:14.740 But sometimes 00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:15.379 Sometimes 00:15:15.379 --> 00:15:17.600 It's just not God's timing. 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:19.600 Sometimes 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.180 It's just not God's priority. 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:27.220 The fact that things don't always work out 00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:29.080 The way we want or imagine. 00:15:29.539 --> 00:15:31.419 The reality that our efforts 00:15:31.419 --> 00:15:33.460 Sometimes just seem to come to nothing. 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:34.440 We try something, 00:15:34.539 --> 00:15:35.220 We do something, 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.200 And, well, it doesn't work. 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.019 It's not because we're doing something wrong. 00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:43.620 It's not because our desires 00:15:43.620 --> 00:15:45.139 Are not strong enough. 00:15:46.419 --> 00:15:47.519 No, it's simply 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.620 That God is directing 00:15:49.620 --> 00:15:50.860 His mission 00:15:50.860 --> 00:15:53.299 According to His timing 00:15:53.299 --> 00:15:55.580 And His plans. 00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:01.659 But second, 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.080 He not only directs his mission, 00:16:04.460 --> 00:16:06.960 He also opens people's hearts. 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:10.159 So Paul has gone down to Troas 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:11.960 And they make their way across 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.879 Eventually to a city called Philippi. 00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:18.800 They're not given any further direction 00:16:18.800 --> 00:16:19.980 About where to go 00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:21.820 Or who they might meet. 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:23.540 They just simply go. 00:16:24.540 --> 00:16:26.280 Look at verse 13. 00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:29.440 On the Sabbath, he says, 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:31.320 We went outside the city gate 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:32.639 To the river 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:35.800 Where we expected to find a place of prayer. 00:16:35.920 --> 00:16:37.460 There's no church in this city. 00:16:37.560 --> 00:16:39.040 There's no gathering of believers. 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:41.620 Because the gospel hasn't yet reached there. 00:16:41.740 --> 00:16:43.480 But God does have His plan 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:44.379 As we will see. 00:16:45.500 --> 00:16:46.759 The rest of verse 13. 00:16:46.860 --> 00:16:47.639 We sat down 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:48.719 And we began to speak 00:16:48.719 --> 00:16:49.399 To the women 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:50.759 Who had gathered there. 00:16:50.980 --> 00:16:52.059 One of those listening 00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:53.579 Was a woman named Lydia. 00:16:54.259 --> 00:16:56.480 A dealer in purple cloth 00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.299 From the city of Thyatira. 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:03.000 Now here's a very wealthy 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:04.319 Business woman. 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:08.200 She sells very expensive 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:09.419 Designer labels. 00:17:09.579 --> 00:17:10.220 That's what it is 00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:11.480 To have purple cloth then 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:12.939 Is the equivalent of Armani 00:17:12.939 --> 00:17:13.539 Or Gucci 00:17:13.539 --> 00:17:15.599 Or whatever else they have today. 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.240 Designer labels 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.839 A busy, wealthy woman. 00:17:22.419 --> 00:17:24.159 And what happens to this woman? 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:26.200 Well, she's a worshipper of God. 00:17:26.919 --> 00:17:28.200 She's not a believer 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:30.539 But she's interested in God. 00:17:30.539 --> 00:17:33.920 And the Lord opened her heart 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.639 To respond to Paul's message. 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.000 Now this has God's fingerprints 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:41.460 All over it. 00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:44.180 A wealthy saleswoman 00:17:44.180 --> 00:17:47.500 Happens to come down to Philippi. 00:17:48.379 --> 00:17:50.700 And happens to meet Paul 00:17:50.700 --> 00:17:53.279 Who happens to go outside the city 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:55.099 Down to this particular river. 00:17:55.099 --> 00:17:55.959 You see 00:17:55.959 --> 00:17:58.839 Not only is the meeting 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:00.779 Orchestrated by God 00:18:00.779 --> 00:18:04.139 But the salvation of this woman 00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:06.179 Is orchestrated by God too. 00:18:06.419 --> 00:18:07.099 Look at what it says 00:18:07.099 --> 00:18:08.339 At the end of verse 14 00:18:08.339 --> 00:18:10.799 The Lord opened her heart 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:13.399 To respond to Paul's message. 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:18.659 I read a remarkable story this week 00:18:18.659 --> 00:18:21.859 About a woman living in Tunisia. 00:18:21.859 --> 00:18:24.619 Tunisia is a country 00:18:24.619 --> 00:18:27.259 That is closed to the gospel. 00:18:28.479 --> 00:18:31.299 And she had an extraordinary encounter. 00:18:32.219 --> 00:18:33.379 She was in her house 00:18:33.379 --> 00:18:35.539 And she heard a knock on her door. 00:18:37.419 --> 00:18:38.899 And as she went to open it 00:18:38.899 --> 00:18:40.399 She asked, who is it? 00:18:41.399 --> 00:18:43.000 The response was clear. 00:18:43.399 --> 00:18:44.419 Open up the door 00:18:44.419 --> 00:18:46.099 I want to come in and eat. 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:48.519 She opened the door 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:50.299 There was nobody there. 00:18:50.299 --> 00:18:54.019 This happened a couple of times. 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:56.579 Open up the door 00:18:56.579 --> 00:18:57.839 I want to come in and eat. 00:18:58.419 --> 00:18:59.119 Nobody there. 00:19:00.579 --> 00:19:01.099 Later 00:19:01.099 --> 00:19:04.099 She was completely amazed 00:19:04.099 --> 00:19:06.279 When she met a Tunisian Christian 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.319 She had never ever met before. 00:19:09.539 --> 00:19:11.460 And she read these words 00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:12.919 From the Bible 00:19:12.919 --> 00:19:15.059 Quoting Jesus from Revelation. 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:17.039 Here I am 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.519 I stand at the door and knock 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:22.440 If anyone hears my voice 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:23.639 And opens the door 00:19:23.639 --> 00:19:26.079 I will come in and eat with them 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:27.579 And they with me. 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:30.680 And this woman who had never met before 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:32.099 Explained to her 00:19:32.099 --> 00:19:33.859 Who Jesus was 00:19:33.859 --> 00:19:36.599 What that invitation is all about 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.579 And she became a follower of Jesus. 00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:40.700 Extraordinary! 00:19:41.700 --> 00:19:43.500 Now these things do happen 00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:45.599 I am not saying they happen every single day 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:47.839 And God generally works 00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.599 Through very ordinary means. 00:19:49.699 --> 00:19:51.000 Let me tell you another story. 00:19:51.539 --> 00:19:52.799 A Christian friend of mine 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:53.459 Told me 00:19:53.459 --> 00:19:55.519 They were waiting to board a flight 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:58.199 And they started talking to this lady. 00:19:59.259 --> 00:20:00.519 Friendly conversation 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:01.899 Chit chat as it happens. 00:20:02.899 --> 00:20:04.059 They boarded the plane 00:20:04.059 --> 00:20:06.619 And the lady specifically asked 00:20:06.619 --> 00:20:09.000 Could they sit next to my friend? 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.440 The lady was open 00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:14.500 Full of questions 00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:16.660 And during the flight 00:20:16.660 --> 00:20:18.859 They talked about Christ 00:20:18.859 --> 00:20:20.380 And the gospel. 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:24.920 You see God not only ordains 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:27.119 The people that we meet 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:31.380 He is the one who opens people's hearts 00:20:31.380 --> 00:20:32.779 To believe our message. 00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:34.740 Look at verse 14 00:20:34.740 --> 00:20:36.819 The Lord opened her heart 00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:39.299 To respond to Paul's message. 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:41.579 We like Paul 00:20:41.579 --> 00:20:42.779 May tell the gospel 00:20:42.779 --> 00:20:44.420 But it is God 00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:46.299 Who opens the way for salvation. 00:20:46.859 --> 00:20:47.759 God in his plan 00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:49.099 Will use our words 00:20:49.099 --> 00:20:50.880 He'll use our conversations 00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.480 He'll use our various personalities 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:54.259 And character 00:20:54.259 --> 00:20:55.980 He'll hear our prayers 00:20:55.980 --> 00:20:57.839 But it is God alone 00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:00.019 Who causes a person to believe. 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.000 God is the one who opens closed hearts. 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:05.299 He's the one who opens up blind eyes. 00:21:05.619 --> 00:21:07.319 He's the one who opens deaf ears 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:09.680 To respond to the good news of Jesus. 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.920 In fact the opening into Lydia's heart 00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:17.000 Led to an opening to her whole family. 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:19.420 Look at verse 15 00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:21.880 When she and the members of her 00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:24.359 When she and the members of her household 00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:25.039 Were baptized 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.519 She invited us to her home. 00:21:27.779 --> 00:21:30.059 If you consider me a believer in the Lord 00:21:30.059 --> 00:21:32.440 She said come and stay at my

opening of a church. 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:43.599 Look at the very end of chapter 16 verse 40. 00:21:44.180 --> 00:21:45.940 It was as if Lydia's house 00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:48.259 Became the meeting place 00:21:48.259 --> 00:21:50.059 For this new church. 00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:51.700 After Paul and Silas 00:21:51.700 --> 00:21:52.599 Had come out of prison 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:54.240
