    Are we able to rejoice, even when the times get rough? Or does our faith depend on everything “going our way?” There is a cotton-candy like view of Christianity that promises all health and wealth, but it melts away when reality strikes.

    Acts 16:16-34 “Freedom in a Prison Cell” There is a lot to be learned from the example of Christians who live in third-world countries, and don’t have the freedom we might often take for granted. Will Willimon tells the story of a Bishop from Angola who came to visit America a ...read more

    Have you ever had "one of those days?" One of those days; when there was a hint that things were not going to go well? One of those days when one bad thing after another seems to hit you?

Paul and Silas were on a missionary journey ... in the area of Philippi ... and initially things seemed to be going ... pretty well. One day, however, ... things began to change.

    Paul and Silas lovingly and boldly ministered to the needs of the people they encountered. As a result of their endeavors people's lives were changed, but Paul and Silas were imprisoned. Serving Jesus often involves struggles and setbacks.

    Acts 16:16-34 “Bad Things Happen to Faithful People” INTRODUCTION Power comes in many shapes and forms. There is the raw horrendous power of an atomic explosion. In contrast to such power is the group power of civil disobedience, which we witnessed in Gandhi’s fight for ...read more

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    From Satan’s Slave to God’s Servant: Acts 16:16-24. Last time, we saw that Paul heard God and because of his obedience, the gospel entered Europe. We looked at Lydia, the first person to be saved because she was searching. Today, we’ll look at the salvation of the slave girl and ...read more

    The Question And The Only Right Answer To It

    Contributed by David Mcnally on May 5, 2014
     | 3,813 views

    The question which the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas 2,000 years ago is still relevant today and we have to encourage people to ask it, and no matter how 'diverse' or 'multi-cultural' our society is, there is only one correct answer to it.

    Psalm 34:1-9 and 17-22 (all) emphasize v.22 Acts 16: 16-34 Sermon: What must I do to be Saved? There's only one answer to that question. “Saved”. A little 5-letter word usually being the past tense of the verb “save” which means 'set free' or 'rescue'. In ...read more

     | 14,595 views

    Every morning and every evening the head of a Jewish household would pray, giving thanks that God had not created him “a Gentile, a woman or a slave.” It hardly seems coincidental that the first three conversions which take place at Philippi, come from those three despised categories.

    How could you possibly witness to someone who’s hurt you? Someone who has gone out of their way to make you miserable? Paul and Silas did it. Can you do it too?

    OPEN: In the 1870s, in the Old West, a town called Truckee, California decided to build a jail. This wasn’t just any old jail - this was wonder to behold. The walls were 32 inches thick at the lower level and there were no windows unless one counted the small vents for each cell. The ceilings were ...read more

    Kids may disagree with their parents, but if we can teach them to trust us and obey, we help them set a pattern to listen and respond to the heavenly Father. Our complete obedience to the Lord allows Him to accomplish His purposes in and through us.

    Blessings of Obedience Text: Acts 16:9-40 Intro: Paul, Silas, Timothy, and probably Luke worked as a team to share the good news about Jesus in several different cities.
