Women's Ministry
Women's Bible Study
Hello!
The JLC Women’s Group will be meeting on Wednesday at 7 pm CT. We are discussing Women of the New Testament. This week’s lesson will be about Lydia: A Businesswoman Turns to Christ.
To prepare, please read Acts 16:6-15 and think about the following questions:
- How is Paul directed to where he should go (v 6-10)?
- What principles of guidance do you see here?
- When have you experienced God’s leading in this way?
- Paul and his companions arrived in Philippi on the Sabbath. They were looking for a place of prayer but, instead, found a gathering of women. What does their response tell us about their view of women?
- What do you discover about evangelism from verse 14?
- How can the fact that it is the Lord who opens hearts to his message be a source of encouragement to you?
- What is the significance of the fact that a woman is the first convert in Europe?
- Lydia was a leader in business, in the community and in her household. What contributions would she make to the church?
- Hospitality is one of the contributions Lydia made. It is directly spoken of in this passage (v 15). What difference would her hospitality make to Paul, Silas, Luke and the church?
- How could the story of Lydia’s conversion, leadership and contributions to the first church in Europe encourage women today who desire to be used by God in the church?
