PAUL (Profiles In Courage)

Finishing up this batch of Profiles In Courage episodes, we are looking at Paul.  In Acts 16:16-40, Paul and Silas have an encounter in Philippi that leads to them being beaten and thrown into prison.  As we observe the reasoning behind their imprisonment, we can easily see why this was unfair and unjust.  Yet Paul praised God while he was in jail.  During that time at midnight, God sends an earthquake and the prison doors fly open.  Long story short, Paul's obedience to the Lord leads to the conversion of the jailer and his entire family.  Through this passage, we learn that sometimes tough things come even we are obedient to the Lord.  But through those circumstances we must and should still praise.  As we do, we see God is faithful and walks with us through the trials we face.  

I hope you will be blessed with this episode and encouraged to go back and listen to this entire series from these past few weeks.  Feel free to reach out:  info@derekcharlesjohnson.com
