Peace in the Prison Cell

Text: Acts 16:25-34

Problems we face today:

  • Self-inflicted problems (you want to blame something or someone)
  • Others inflicted problems
  • Satan inflicted problems
    • Concor your flesh and wear the armour of God, Satan tends to attack.
  • You start: Phil 1:3
    • Complaining
    • Faithless Attitude
    • Depression
    • Blame Others
  • What do these accomplish?
How Paul & Silas stayed peaceful in prison:

  • They prayed to their saviour - vs 25a (you tell everyone else your problems when we should be going to God) 1 Pet 5:7, Luke 12:5-7
  • They praised with their song vs 25b, 1 Cor 1:29
  • They preached to the seeker vs 26-31
  • They proved God is superiority vs 25c (the prisoners heard them) vs 32-35, they proved to Gods superiority. So stop and pray, sing onto the Lord, and let him guide you. "If it's not for the rocks in its bed, the stream would have no song." - Carl Perkins
