Tonight I wish to share about Lydia. Her name signifies that she was a woman from Lydia, a region in Asia Minor Her Character: A gentile adherent of Jerusalem, she was a successful businesswoman who sold a type of cloth prized for its purple color. As head of her household, she may have been widowed or single, So strong was her faith that her entire household followed her example and was baptized. She extended hospitality to Paul and his companions, even after their imprisonment. Her sorrow: To see Paul and Silas beaten and thrown into prison for the sake of the gospel she had embraced. Her Joy: That Gods Spirit directed Paul and His companions to Macedonia, enabling her and others at Philippi to hear the gospel for the first time. Key Scripture: Acts: 16:6-40.
