Acts Chapter 16

Brothers and Sisters 😊

📖 In Acts chapter 16 today we see a vivid picture of service and sacrifice, as Paul and Silas gladly share in Christ’s sufferings, giving up all comfort for the sake of the Gospel and the eternal benefit of the Philippian jailer and his family…

“These men are devoted servants of the Most High God, (who have given up all) and proclaim to you the way of salvation” (vs 17).

🇺🇸 Big-time shout out this Memorial Day Weekend to all those who have served in the military (past and present) to protect our loved ones and the freedoms that we enjoy in America on a daily basis – God bless each one of you and thank you so much for your service 🙏❤️💪🏼👏💯

Q. Can you think of others who have sacrificed greatly for you over the course of you life?

Q. If these people are still alive, is there anything holding you back from contacting them today and thanking them for their love and service to you?

🙏 Heavenly Father we pray earnestly today for all those who have prayed for us, sacrificed for us, served and loved us well, and even put themselves in harms way for our benefit – By the power of your Spirit please strengthen us daily to deny ourselves and look for opportunities to pass it forward and do the same for the sake of others.

🙏 Lord Jesus we praise you today for leading the way as our humble Servant King, and for ransoming us from the horrors of hell by laying down your life for our eternal benefit – Please help us never take your costly sacrifice for granted…

✝️ “After they were beaten harshly (for their faith) the two men were thrown into prison and fastened to the stocks. About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and all the prisoners were listening. Suddenly there was a great earthquake and all the doors opened and their bonds were loosed. When the jailer arose and saw this he drew his sword and was about to kill himself. But Paul spoke to him with a loud voice saying, ‘Do not harm yourself, for we are all here’…Then the jailer, trembling with fear fell down before them and said, ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and all your household!”
