Paul's second
missionary journey
Paul
strengthened the churches in Phrygia and Galatia v.1-5
The addition
of Timothy v.1-3
Why did Paul
circumcise Timothy? Because of the Jews living in that area who knew his father
was Greek.

The
strengthening of the churches v.4-5
The letter
from Jerusalem concerning circumcission.
Paul's
ministry at Philippi
The ministry
in Macedonia
a. The call to Macedonia 16:6-10
Why did the
Holy Spirit forbid Paul and the team to go to Asia and Bithynia? Bro. Ho suggested that may be some
one was already there or the Lord had other plans.
b. The
ministry at Philippi v. 11-40
i) Lydia was converted v.11-15
ii) A slave girl was delivered of a spirit
of divination v.16-18
Why did Paul
cast out the spirit after the slave girl had followed them for many days?
iii) Paul and Silas were imprisoned v.19-24
16:25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying
and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them
Paul and Silas
still could rejoice in prison!
Can we rejoice always in all circumstances?
2. The ministry in Macedonia 16:6-40
b. The
ministry at Philippi v.11-40
iv) The
jailer was converted v.25-34
“What must I do to be saved?”
v) Paul and
Silas were released v.35-40
Why did Paul insist the magistrates apologized to him
and Silas publicly?
Paul’s life and mission was specifically destined by
the Lord Acts 9:15: But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen
instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons
of Israel; 16: for I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my
name."
Paul always prayed to listen to the Holy Spirit.
He committed and submitted himself to the Holy Spirit
to accomplish his life mission.
Paul knew what was his life mission?
Do you know your life mission?
