The Watershed of the Book of Acts The Jerusalem Council The Watershed of the Book of Acts The Book Of Acts

After the Jerusalem Council, the church was at a tipping point!

2 nd Missionary Journey

Timothy from Lystra Great reputation in the church Mother was a believing Jewess and his father was a Greek Paul had him circumcised

Timothy Paul… circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they knew that his father was a Greek. (Acts 16:3) Titus Not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek. (Galatians 2:3)

The Jerusalem Letter As they traveled from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey. So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers. (16:4-5)

2 nd Missionary Journey Kept from…Asia Tried to enter Bithynia

…kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. (16:6) …the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. (16:7)

…kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. (16:6) …we wanted to come to you…but Satan stopped us. (1 Thess. 2:18) …the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. (16:7)

2 nd Missionary Journey Troas was 10 Miles North of Ancient Troy

Luke as a Helper for Paul “We” starts in Troas and ends when Paul left Philippi. 16:10 to17:1 Starts again when Paul returned to Philippi in 20:5-6!

2 nd Missionary Journey

Philippi A Roman colony Large number of retired soldiers Important city 1 st Church Paul planted on European soil!

“A Place of Prayer” Took 10 men for a minyan to form a synagogue

“A Place of Prayer” Pollard says it can mean a synagogue (111) McRay says it means the absence of a synagogue (144)

Conversion of Lydia A dealer in purple cloth From Thyatira Probably wealthy A God-fearer

Conversion of Lydia The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message (14). She & her household were baptized (15). Hospitality (cf. Zacchaeus)

Casting out Evil Spirit Spirit of divination (Pythian Spirit – inspired by Apollo, the Pythian deity)

Casting out Evil Spirit Demon possessed people in the N.T. confessed spiritual realities (cf. Mark 1:21-25, 32-34)

Casting out Evil Spirit 1 st time in Acts that Pagans initiated a persecution – and the reason was MONEY!

Casting out Evil Spirit They were dragged into the agora (public square or marketplace)

Casting out Evil Spirit Charges had an anti-Jewish tone to them – Appealed to loyalty and pride of being Roman

Stripped… Beaten… Severely flogged…

Paul in Prison Paul spent as much as 25% of his time as a missionary in prison! See: McRay, pp

The Jailer’s Conversion Began with a near- death experience – earthquake Fell trembling before Paul and Silas (29)

The Jailer’s Conversion What must I do to be saved? (30) Believe in the Lord Jesus!

Believe (30) They spoke the word of the Lord to him (31) Baptized (33) He had come to believe (34)

Out of Jail! Paul played his citizenship card Probably protecting the church

Out of Jail! Escorted out by magistrates One last visit at Lydia’s house

Paul’s idea had been to retrace his steps from the 1 st Missionary Journey. God’s idea was for the gospel to move into Europe!
