The Gospel Forms A New Community

The founding of the church at Philippi in Acts 16:11-40 shows how our Lord creates a new church family by the proclamation of his gospel, and so builds his church.

1. The gospel converts Lydia and her
   household (16:11-15)

2. A slave girl is released in the
   name of Jesus Christ (16:16-24)

3. The gospel coverts the jailer and
   his household (16:25-34)

4. Paul and Silas are released to a
   gospel-formed church (16:35-40)
