Thyatira in Acts 16
thy-uh-TY-ruh
This place shows up in Acts 16:14: “A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Acts 16:14
“A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.”
What kids can learn
When you hear thyatira in Acts, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
