Week 5: Equipped for New Opportunities: The Macedonian Call

Jan 4, 2026    Matthew Allen

Acts 16 marks a turning point in the spread of the gospel. For the first time, the message of Christ crossed into Europe, beginning a new chapter in God’s mission. As Paul and his companions traveled through Asia Minor, the Holy Spirit repeatedly redirected their plans. Then, through a vision in the night, God called them to Macedonia. This lesson shows how God opens new doors, guides His servants in unexpected ways, and equips believers to seize opportunities for His glory. From divine direction to the conversion of Lydia in Philippi, we see how God’s Spirit leads and blesses those who are willing to follow His call.
