In a world full of disruption and conflict, does the Gospel have anything to say in the public square?

This sermon steps through the story of Paul in Philippi in Acts 16:11-40 and demonstrates how the Good News of the Kingdom of God intersects with the Kingdom of Human Power Structures. What is the Good News in these difficult times?

The story moves through six encounters--Lydia, the slave-girl, the slave owners, the magistrates, the jailer, and the magistrates again--to show different ways the Good News of the Kingdom of God intersects with human power structures.
