The Book of Acts – Midnight Deliverance

Today, Pastor Jeremy unpacks the moment where Paul and Silas are in jail and are freed by the power of God. It is important to understand that the Gospel is a divisive subject solely due to the evil and darkness in the world, so following Jesus isn’t going to be the easy walk in life, but the best walk in life. Even though Paul and Silas were imprisoned for spreading the Gospel, their continued worship and praise to God, even in the deepest, darkest corner of a jail cell, is what allowed them to draw closer to God and ultimately be delivered from their imprisonment. Enjoy!
