    THIS PASSAGE PRESENTS US WITH SEVERAL SCENARIOS, EACH OF WHICH PRESENTS PAUL AND BY INFERENCE US WITH THE OPPORTUNITY OF CHOICE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE NOTE OF THE PRINCIPLE THAT CHOICES HAVE CONSEQUENCES. IN OTHER WORDS, CHOICES

    THE ENVIRONMENT OF CHOICE Acts 16:11-40 From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the next day on to Neapolis. 12 From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days. 13 On the Sabbath we ...read more

    God leads. God leads us to where He wants us to be. Therefore watch where you are, and be the instrument that God can use to accomplish His purposes.

    1. God LEADS… are we following? Paul has chosen Silas as his partner for the 2nd missionary journey. He also took Timothy along this time. • Something interesting happens in 16:6. They were in the region of PHRYGIA but they were ‘kept by the Holy Spirit’ from moving into ...read more

    The Question And The Only Right Answer To It

    Contributed by David Mcnally on May 5, 2014
     | 3,653 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

    Three Portraits Of Salvation In Philippi

     | 14,290 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.

    Jesus’ Jailhouse Rock

    Only Jesus can make a jailhouse rock as he puts a song in Paul's heart and a spring in the jailer's step.

    In a 1957 movie, Elvis Presley made prison look like a rip roarin’ time when he sang “Jailhouse Rock.” The truth is Jesus made a jailhouse rock long before Elvis did and it was no staged production. It was a real-life event punctuated by an earthquake, a jail break, and a midnight ...read more

    We examine the three aspects of true faith (knowledge, assent and trust), before seeing the distinctive features of a saving faith.

    "What Does It Mean to Believe?" (Acts 16:31) I. Introduction. A. Orientation. 1. We talk a lot about faith in connection with salvation, and no wonder: Paul tells us it's something we must have in order to be saved, as we see from our passage. But what does it mean to believe? a.

    Much confusion abounds about deliverance because of our church culture. Let's go back to the Scriptures...

Please keep those requests coming in, and if I feel it is a subject I can and/or should be tackling, I will. Deliverance is a good Bible word, so yes, we should study it.

    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.

    “What must I do to be saved?” Acts 16:22-40 If you remember, last time we saw the slave girl, who had supernatural powers that were not from God. Paul and Silas delivered her from demonic possession and because her masters were making a lot of money off of her, they got mad and brought ...read more

    No matter what your need is... there's no length that God is not willing to go to...to not only meet, but exceed far beyond your wildest expectations if you are willing to dare to believe He can do what He says He can do....

    Dare to Believe Illus. By John Raulerson A guy sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard.
