‘The day the gospel made its way into Philippi’ (Acts 16:11-40)

We’re interuppting our studies in Luke’s Gospel this morning, to take into account another part of Luke’s writings, his second book, known to us as the ‘Acts of the Apostles’ or just ‘Acts’. In the text of Acts 16:11-40, Luke shows us the difference the gospel made as it spread into the Roman city of Philippi. There, three unlikely people became the first believers on European soil, all in different walks of life, and yet all united by their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
