"The astonishing idea is current in some circles today that we can enjoy the benefits of Christ's salvation without accepting the challenge of His sovereign Lordship." John RW Stott, Basic Christianity, p113

Christ Baptist Church Fall 2015 / Spring 2016

1.What problems or obstacles arose prior to Paul's departure on his second journey? What may have been the reason Barnabas was so intent upon taking John Mark? (Col 4:10) 2. How did God use this separation positively? From 2 Tim 4:11, do you think the dispute was later resolved?

3.What do you think kept Paul going when he encountered so many difficulties? 4.What big picture must we keep in mind as we think about painful church conflicts? 5.Why did Paul have Timothy circumcised? Why didn't this contradict his insistence that people were saved without confirming to the Jewish Law? How did the Holy Spirit influence the missionaries’ travels?

Why did Paul and his missionary party go to Philippi? Who joined them in Troas? (Note the we in verse 10.) In Philippi, where did the missionaries go on the Sabbath Day? Who did they find, and what did they do there? Why do you think they did not go to a synagogue? What do we learn about Lydia?

What caused her to open her heart to Christ when she heard Paul speak? (v14) From the following Scripture passages, why was it necessary for the Lord to do the work of opening Lydia’s heart? John 6:44 and 65 Romans 9:16 1 Corinthians 2:14 What happened to her household?

What happened that annoyed Paul? What did he do about it? Why? What reasons did the slave-girl’s masters give for taking Paul and Silas to the authorities? Where the accusations true? 8.How did Paul and Silas respond after being beaten thrown in prison in Philippi? How could they do this? Romans 5:3, Philippians 4:4-7 James 1:2 1 Peter 5:6

Characters The Missionaries The Prisoners The Jailer The Officials

9.Instead of seeking vengeance toward the jailer, what did Paul seek? Why? What question did the jailer ask Paul and Silas and why was he led to ask it? Describe the circumstances and what you think may have been going on in the jailer's mind. What was the answer he received? 10. What are some evidences of true repentance?

What did the magistrates decide to do with Paul and Silas and why did Paul protest? Why do you thing Paul invoked his Roman Citizenship now? Why did Paul and Silas finally agree to leave Philippi, and what did they do before departing? Luke may have stayed in Philippi (16:40)

6.What three "openings" did God provide in Acts 16? What was significance of each? 7. If Paul encountered both open and closed doors, so might we. How did Paul deal with this experience of some open and some closed doors? What relevance does this have for us? What ways would you like to be like Paul?
