Acts 16:6-15 6 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. 7 And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them. 8 So, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. 11 So, setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis,12 and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days. 13 And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together. 14 One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.15 And after she was baptized, and her household as well, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.   Key Words: Holy Spirit, Allow, Call, Preach, Prayer, Open, Heart, Baptize Keystone Verse: The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.

The post Advancing the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ appeared first on Southern Equip.

It's almost unthinkable to sing, to praise God, to worship in the midst of our suffering. Life can be really hard sometimes. It was really hard for Paul and Silas, and yet they found the strength to thank God with their voices, despite their circumstances. Despite the agony they were experiencing. In today's message, Pastor Mark will show you how God is that strength. God is your strength when you are hanging on by a thread. Maybe that's you today, maybe you need a miracle, you need supernatural power to continue on..God will be that. God is for you and He is with you, ready to comfort and support you in all areas!

Spiritual warfare is a very real thing we face in today's day and age. The devil uses everything and anything he can get his hands on to pull you away from God and the things of God. Distractions, such as screaming kids, busy schedules with no time to relax, are all meant to stress you out and drag you from God. In today's message, Pastor Mark will share that, as real as those battles are, God has a way out! There is hope to endure life; simply ask God to give you patience, rest, and strength. He may not provide an immediate way out, but He will give you or be everything you need to endure your struggles!

Paul has been invited to Macedonia by an unnamed man to “help,” and in response, he has found his way there to begin his mission to Europe. God is a God of surprises as He leads His people to fulfill His mission.  As we obey the Lord's leading, we may not know who He has ordained for us to meet or what circumstances we may encounter. We can, however, trust His plan because it's the best plan and it will always prove to be redemptive for us and for others.   By Dave Bartlett

In today's message, Pastor Mark shares about the missionary journey that Paul and his companions took. One remarkable thing about their journey was that as they sailed by ship across the sea, they were able to take a straight course. This really was noteworthy because typically, the wind direction would work against them, but on this particular voyage, it was exactly what they needed. Have you ever stepped out in faith to do something that God was calling you to do? It might not always be smooth sailing, but when God wants you to do something, He will make a way. If God is calling you to step out in faith, then He will equip you.

Freedom. Freedom from Spiritual bondage and earthly burdens. God is a God of freedom, and he wants true freedom for you!

Prayer. Hymns. Earthquake.

Life is FULL of decisions. Every day, we have to decide what we want to eat, what clothes to wear… and those are just a couple of the choices we have to make. There's also plenty of BIG decisions in life; where to live, what career path to follow, who to marry… Pastor Mark encourages you in his message today to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit so that you can know which way God is leading you. Not every option is pleasing to God, and sometimes the right choice is the most difficult one. The important thing is to ask God and allow Him to lead you; You never know, He may lead you in a direction you never expected.

Beaten and jailed.

You know, one can imagine what it's like to be a king on some remote island somewhere… Servants everywhere, some bringing you food, some waving palm branches over you to keep you cool. All day long, you just do whatever you want, and your servants are there to wait on you hand and foot; A life in the lap of luxury. Today in his message, Pastor Mark shares with you that being part of the body of the Church isn't about what the Church can do for you, but what you can do for Christ. The Church isn't about consumerism, but it's about believers in Jesus coming together, serving each other, and worshipping God together.

20 Proverbs 21-22; Exodus 9-14; 19 Psalms 50-54; 44 Acts 16-19

Going through life without guidance can be a real challenge. That's why it's so important to have people like parents, grandparents, mentors, and pastors to pour into the lives of others, especially those who are younger. There's so much wisdom that can be passed along that will save many from having to learn things the hard way. In his message today, Pastor Mark is going to tell you about how Paul poured into the life of Timothy and encourage you to do the same for others. Look around you, is there anyone in your life that you can impart some of the wisdom God has given you? That's a great place to start!

In our study of 1 & 2 Thessalonians we flashback to Paul and Silas being miraculously freed from prison because Paul alludes to the harsh ways he and his friends were treated in Philippi on his second missionary journey.

This sermon challenges us to move beyond comfort and passivity in our faith by sharing the life changing message of Jesus with others. Using a striking story of a man who drifted away in a lawn chair attached to weather balloons, Pastor Jason illustrates how easy it is to stay seated while the world passes by. Just as Peter and John told the healed man at the temple gate, “What now?” we too are called to rise, go, and reach those who may never hear the good news unless we speak. God is on the move, will we move with Him?

What do you do when life feels heavy and praise seems impossible? In Acts 16:25, Paul and Silas sang hymns in prison at midnight, showing us that God's worthiness isn't tied to our circumstances. No matter the season, joy or sorrow, God is worthy to be praised! At (www.simplyrevised.org) we hope to encourage, equip, grow, and strengthen faith in the Lord    SUPPORT: Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/simplyrevised Learn More: https://www.simplyrevised.org/support

Acts 16 records Paul as he was preparing to continue to spread the Gospel through Asia.  However, he is confronted with a series of NO's from the Holy Spirit.  How do you reconcile when you are trying to do things and you continue to hear NO in your life. Paul shows us how to keep walking through the NO's and he discovers God's greater plan for his life. Main scripture: Acts 16:6-28; Isaiah 55:8-9, Matthew 6:34, 1 Peter 5:8, Psalm 25:14, Deuteronomy 31:8

These verses encourage us to walk in step with the Spirit. He sometimes leads us in ways we may not understand but if we follow Him we will see Him accomplish His purpose and will in and through our lives.  By Dave Bartlett
