A MESSAGE PREACHED IN THE USA IN 2009 WITH A TIMELY APPLICATION BACK THEN AND EVEN MORE SO TODAY.

‘Do thyself no harm’

A message preached at the 30th anniversary of Malvern Free Presbyterian Church.

On Friday 16th January, I read Acts 16, marvelling afresh at the wonderful record of the advance of the Gospel into Europe. Two women, one on each side of the great spiritual divide, played a major part in the visit of the God’s servants to Philippi. Lydia, a most courageous, godly woman, verses 14-15.  And then there was the “certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination”, verse 16.

For every faithful soul who desires to advance the Gospel cause there is a counterpart, who does all to hinder the Gospel by subtly and craft or by physical and cruel opposition.

What a wonderful drama unfolded way back then in Philippi!

May you find comfort and blessing in this older message.
