The Conversion of Lydia

Passage: Acts 16:11-15

Two weeks ago we saw the sovereignty of God over sin in the heated conflict between Paul and Barnabas that caused them to go separate ways.  God multiplied the spread of the Gospel.

Last week we saw the sovereignty of God over the decisions and direction of the apostles as they sought God’s will for where they should go.  God’s purposeful providence closed doors and opened doors.

This morning we will see the sovereignty of God over human hearts and the salvation of sinners.

Everything in creation bends to the sovereign will of God.  This is a call to rest in the sovereignty of God, to let it be our source of peace, contentment, joy, patience, of thanksgiving and worship.
