Acts: Part 31 – People are Changed by God’s Work
Paul and Silas reached Philippi, a major city of that district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. They stayed there several days. Here is the account in their own words: “On the Sabbath we went a little way outside the city to a riverbank, where we thought people would be meeting for prayer, and we sat down to speak with some women who had gathered there. One of them was Lydia from Thyatira, a merchant of expensive purple cloth, who worshiped God. As she listened to us, the Lord opened her heart, and she accepted what Paul was saying. She and her household were baptized, and she asked us to be her guests. “If you agree that I am a true believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my home.” And she urged us until we agreed.” The Macedonian call was very real!
