As we examine the account of Paul and Silas in prison and the miraculous work of God that happened there, Pastor Bill has an uplifting and challenging message to share. This story is incredible. Paul and Silas, imprisoned for their faith, had an uncertain future immediately ahead. Yet, instead of trembling in fear, they lifted their voices in praise. Then the earth trembled, and God provided freedom. As we'll find in today's study, before they walked free, God had a bigger purpose for them.

Jesus wants to fill you with His Holy Spirit. We often wish we could walk with Jesus physically and experience Him here in the flesh, but He gave us an incredible gift in his absence by sending His Holy Spirit. This Spirit doesn't just walk with us and talk with us; He lives in us and empowers us to do things that Jesus said would be even greater than His own earthly works. As Pastor Bill will encourage us in today's message, all we have to do to receive this Spirit is to ask in faith.

How can you find joy in the midst of adverse circumstances? Today, we return to the Book of Philippians, an epistle written by the Apostle while he was in prison. Despite his bleak circumstances, he chose joy. So can we. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”
“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say rejoice.” Well, when the Apostle Paul wrote those words to the Philippian church, he was under house arrest in Rome. What he wanted the church to understand, what God wants you and me to understand, is that the joy of the Lord is not circumstantial, its intentional. It's a choice we have the power to make no matter how we feel or what we may be going through.

He reminds us that true success isn't measured by money but by relationships, legacy, and the impact we leave on others.
