Week 10: Lydia Is Converted (Acts 16:9-15)
Bible Study: Be prepared to tell others about Jesus.http://www1.salvationarmy.org/uss%5Cwww_uss_natcaparea.nsf/0/A284F323F080506785256DA70006D318?opendocument
As you read this article, think about how quickly a response to a need had to be made in this situation. What might have happened to some of the people who needed assistance if that help had been delayed? How important is response time when meeting needs?

Take a look at this article on computer response time. If computer users don’t receive timely responses, what does this author predict will happen? When someone doesn’t receive a quick response, do you think this increases the potential for that person to lose interest? Explain your thoughts.
Read Acts 16:9-15. Then discuss the following questions as a family:
When Paul was called to meet the needs of people in Macedonia, he left immediately. Why do you think Paul responded so quickly?What was Lydia seeking? Were her needs met? How? When?
Do you think it is important to tell others about Jesus? Why? What does this tell us about God’s priorities? When God calls, when should we answer?

Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love him with all that’s in you, love him with all you’ve got! Write these commandments that I’ve given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children.
