Lydia - Her Legacy In Scripture

Lydia - Her Legacy In Scripture

Read Acts 16:11 – 40.

1. How do you think Lydia would describe her first meeting with Paul and his team by the river?

2. How do you suppose the events of verses 16 – 37 affected Lydia?

3. Why did Lydia and the other believers in Philippi need encouragement (verse 40) as Paul was leaving?

4. Think about the words, “The Lord opened her heart to respond” (verse 14). If this has happened to you, what were the circumstances, and what was your response?

5. Lydia responded to the Lord in a town profoundly hostile to the news of Christ. What response is the Lord currently asking of you, despite whatever obstacles you may be facing?
