Day 320 – World Turned Upside Down: The Gospel In New Cities — Acts 16–18 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

In these chapters, Paul’s second missionary journey unfolds with divine direction, unexpected partnerships, and powerful encounters. From the conversion of Lydia to the dramatic prison escape in Philippi, God proves He is sovereign over every circumstance. As Paul travels through Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, and Corinth, we see the gospel confront idols, challenge worldviews, and establish thriving new churches. Through opposition, debates, miracles, and encouragement, the message of Christ continues to advance—even in the most unlikely places.Questions:1. In Acts 16, the Holy Spirit redirects Paul’s plans and leads him to Macedonia. How do you discern God’s direction when your own plans shift or fall apart?2. Paul engages the philosophers in Athens using their cultural language and worldview. What does this teach us about speaking the gospel meaningfully in today’s culture?3. Corinth becomes one of Paul’s most challenging ministry contexts. How does God encourage Paul during this season, and how has God encouraged you during difficult ministry moments?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here
