Worship for Sept. 11, 2022: Lydia and the Stabilizing Force of Women in the Church

Paul is out on his second missionary journey when he arrives in Philippi. Meet Lydia and celebrate the everyday, ordinary people that ground the church and ensure its future.

Place Finders: Word 10:25 Sermon 16:06 Prayer 26:44

Sermon Notes: For a great roundup on Paul’s early career and life in the early church, check out as usual, The Bible Project podcast. This especially informed my summary of Paul’s first missionary journey. Listen to Saul and Subversive Christianity here.

Amy Jill- Levine and Marc Zvi Brettler have one of the best resources to contextualize accurately the New Testament tradition: The Jewish Annotated New Testament. Tremendous study notes and essays.
