Join us for 9 am Worship as Rev. Dr. Craig Alwin shares the sermon, “Divine Detours.” Below are questions to consider for this Sunday’s sermon.
- Where are the locations of the cities mentioned in Acts 16?
- What does it mean for people like Lydia to be a “Gentile God-worshiper”?
- What does it mean and why is it important that “the Lord enabled her to embrace Paul’s message”?
- In what ways do we expect God’s direction for our lives to be predictable or logical?
- What might be modern-day examples of “a place for prayer”?
