Acts 17: 1 - 15

Paul and Silas continue their travels to Thessalonica and Berea, still facing success and persecutions. Paul goes to the synagogue and shows the ones there that Jesus is the Christ by using God's Word. Why does God place in His Word continual struggles? It's a call from God to persevere - Don't grow weary of doing good - fight the good fight.

Acts 16:22 - 40

Paul and Silas are arrested, put in prison and still worship.On the stage of suffering, they sing praises to God. There is a Kingdom purpose in everything we come across. As the prisoners in the prison with Paul and Silas were watching their reaction to chains, people in our lives, prisoners of sin, are watching our lives, especially on the stage of suffering. What does it take to stop the worship in your life? As Paul writes in Philippians, Conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ.
