Hostile Territory - Northwest Gospel Church

What this episode covers

Acts 16:11-40 | Max Janusch | Before we begin our journey through Paul's letter to the Philippians, we first need to consider the establishment of the Church in Philippi. Throughout the book of Acts, the word of God takes root and spreads throughout the Mediterranean world as it is proclaimed. But what happens when the mission of the Apostles encounters uncharted and hostile territory? What happens when the gospel comes to Philippi? Here, we see that opposition cannot hinder God's mission.MAIN IDEAOpposition cannot hinder gospel mission.OUTLINEI. The gospel brings spiritual life where there once was none. (vv. 11-15)II. The gospel clashes with the world, the flesh, and the devil. (vv. 16-24)III. The gospel leads to complete transformation. (vv. 25-34)IV. The gospel will be vindicated. (vv. 35-40)DISCUSSION QUESTIONS- What stood out to you from Sunday’s sermon?- What is the first thing that Paul and Silas do once they get to Philippi?
