When Jealous People Attack | Acts 17:1–9

Paul and Silas were unjustly accused, unfairly judged, stripped, beaten, and detained, but they sang praises to God. They didn’t know at the time what God was going to do or when He might do it, but regardless, they worshiped Him. Their actions help us know how we can respond in faith when things go from bad to worse.

When Adversity Strikes | Acts 16:16–24

In the early days of Christianity, those who decided to trust and follow Jesus cast themselves wholly upon the leadership of the Lord. Where they went, what they did, and how they lived were all informed by their willingness to pray, “Lead me, Lord,” and to follow His guidance.
