Open Wide

June 8, 2025 | Acts 16.6-11 | Rob Collis

When Jesus calls us to follow him, he doesn’t strong-arm us into believing a certain way. Instead, he exhorts and invites us to join him in his ongoing work of reconciling all things to himself. As we follow in his ways, we can’t keep on living our lives as though nothing has changed. Jesus intends for us to become his faithful witnesses in the world around us: seeing where he is already at work, and helping point him out to the people around us.

As we come to the end of our series, we’re looking at how God opens wide the doors and the path so that others can come to know him – to learn about Jesus, to trust and believe in him, and to follow him. This week, Rob Collis preaches from Acts 16.6-15, and helps us see how God opened a way for a woman named Lydia to hear and believe, as he opened a door, opened her heart, and opened her home.
