Acts16:16-24 "But God I'm Trying to Serve You"  Pastor Wes Holland, preaching.

Why does God allow His people to suffer? Is suffering a sign that we have done something wrong—or can God use suffering to accomplish something greater in our lives? In this episode of ScriptureLinks Daily Dose of Inspiration, we look at the biblical reality of suffering through the experiences of Paul and Silas and the teaching of Scripture. From a prison cell in Acts 16 to Paul's desire to know Christ through “the fellowship of his sufferings,” we discover that suffering does not mean God has left us. Our suffering may test us, refine us, strengthen our faith, and draw us closer to Christ. And while today's suffering may be real and painful, Romans 8 reminds us that it cannot compare with the glory God has promised.

Acts 16:1-12 - God's Guidance and My Purpose - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Acts2026/a1468.pdf

What is the Gospel, and how does it advance in our world today? In this insightful message, Pastor Travis Aicklen dives into the Book of Acts to explore the undeniable power of the Gospel. Whether you are a longtime believer or just exploring faith, this sermon challenges us to understand how the Holy Spirit moves and how different people respond to the Good News. Tune in to the full message to discover how God might be calling you to reach the people in your own life.Key PointsHonoring the Word: Believers are called to pray that the word of the Lord speeds ahead, but we must also ensure it is honored and never watered down just to attract a crowd (2 Thessalonians 3).The First Sermon: After the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, Peter preached the very first Christian sermon in Acts 2, boldly declaring Jesus as both Lord and Christ to a diverse crowd.The True Response to the Gospel: A genuine encounter with the Gospel leaves people "cut to the heart," which leads to repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Spirit, and joining a devoted community (Acts 2).Different Paths to Faith: Using Acts 16 as a model, Pastor Travis highlights three distinct ways people come to Christ: through intellectual reasoning (Lydia), supernatural power encounters (the enslaved girl), or witnessing authentic Christian character in the midst of trials (the Roman jailer).Conclusion & Call to ActionTake a moment to consider the people in your life—are they looking for a logical appeal, a demonstration of God's power, or an authentic example of Christian living?

New Life Haverhill

Have you ever wondered why life sometimes gets harder when you're trying to obey God? You decide to read your Bible, and suddenly everything goes wrong. You commit to serving Christ, and unexpected opposition appears. Is that just coincidence... or is there something deeper going on?In Acts 16, Paul wasn't looking for a fight with the devil. He was simply on his way to a prayer meeting. Yet within hours he confronted a demon, was beaten by an angry mob, thrown into prison, and chained in the darkness. But what looked like Satan's triumph was actually one more of God's victories..Today in Acts 16:16-40 we'll discover what this passage teaches us about spiritual warfare, persecution, and how to rejoice in the face of unfair treatment.Acts 16:16-40 Bible study guide with companion discussion questions on our website: https://studyandobey.com/inductive-bible-study/acts/acts-16-16-40/Study and Obey's Bible study guides on Amazon -https://amzn.to/48SgPEN(As an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)Study and Obey Free Weekly Podcast on Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/study-and-obey/id1571266150Our website of 1000+ practical and free Bible studies - https://studyandobey.comSupport this ministry -https://studyandobey.com/support/25+ Bible study guides for individual or group study on many different books of the Bible - https://studyandobey.com/shop/Sign up for a weekly Bible study to your inbox. 20+ studies to choose from - https://studyandobey.com/weekly-bible-study/Support the show

The Holy Spirit once stopped Paul from sharing the gospel? Not once, but twice. Why would God ever tell His greatest missionary, 'No' to a good thing like sharing the gospel? God can work in mysterious ways and we need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit to understand how He is leading us.Acts 16 Bible study guide with companion discussion questions on our website: https://studyandobey.com/inductive-bible-study/acts/acts-16/Study and Obey's Bible study guides on Amazon -https://amzn.to/48SgPEN(As an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)Study and Obey Free Weekly Podcast on Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/study-and-obey/id1571266150Our website of 800+ practical and free Bible studies - https://studyandobey.comSupport this ministry -https://studyandobey.com/support/25+ Bible study guides for individual or group study on many different books of the Bible - https://studyandobey.com/shop/Sign up for a weekly Bible study to your inbox. 20+ studies to choose from - https://studyandobey.com/weekly-bible-study/Support the show

Jason Mann shares in our series, Acts. Acts. Today we look at Acts 16:1-15.

Looking out for our own interests comes naturally, but paying attention to the needs of others is the work of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas model a Spirit-led attentiveness to people in very different circumstances—a slave girl, fellow sufferers in prison, and a jailer headed toward despair. As the Spirit led them to see and serve the people in front of them, the gospel continued to advance. The same invitation is before us today: depend on the Spirit to notice the needs of others and respond with the hope of Jesus.

Paul and Silas get beaten and thrown in the deepest cell for the crime of freeing a girl from the spirit that made her owners rich. At midnight, backs raw and feet in stocks, they are singing hymns loud enough for the other prisoners to hear, when an earthquake opens the doors and Paul stays to keep the jailer from taking his own life. By morning the man who locked them up is washing their wounds and bringing his whole household to baptism. It is hard to read this chapter and keep believing that any situation is past hope.  The Rev. Matthew Kusch, pastor of King of Glory Lutheran Church in Elgin, IL joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 16:16-40.  To learn more about King of Glory, visit kogelgin.org. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen. He has ascended. And now what? Acts answers that question. Luke tells the story of how the Holy Spirit built the Church from a handful of frightened disciples in Jerusalem into a movement that reached Rome itself. Along the way, you get Pentecost, the first sermons, the first martyrs, the conversion of Paul, the first church councils, shipwrecks, riots, and the persistent, stubborn work of God through Word and Sacrament even when His people didn't have a plan. If you've ever wondered how we got from Easter morning to the Church you sit in today, this is the book. Tune in for this new series on Thy Strong Word with Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors as we open up the Book of Acts.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

Life rarely goes according to plan but Acts 16 reminds us that God is still accomplishing his purposes in the middle of unexpected turns. As Paul experienced conflict, closed doors, and surprising detours, God faithfully guided him toward opportunities he never could have planned. Because God is in control, we can trust him when our plans change and believe he is at work even when we can't yet see what he's doing.

In this episode of Further In, Ben Stuart, Jacob Harkey, Elizabeth Staggers, and Jon Harkey sit down to go deeper into the text from this Sunday's sermon on Acts 16. Together, they unpack the text from Sunday, share added insights, and explore what this passage means for us today.
