Key Verse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014Acts 16:25<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Verse Thought: <\/strong>Read today\u2019s Key Verse. Many will probably remember the events of Paul and Silas\u2019 imprisonment. In this lesson, we will understand that although they were unjustly put into jail, yet they still sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them. The music we sing, especially in trying times, can be a witness to the world to show them in whom we place our trust. We are always to be a witness for Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis: <\/strong>We are to be a witness for Jesus no matter where we are or what the circumstances may be: just like Paul and Silas. Even while they were in prison, they were a witness for God, and the jailor was saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson Summary:<\/strong> In our last lesson, we learned about Paul\u2019s first missionary journey. Paul and Barnabas were chosen and sent forth to the countries and cities around to preach Jesus. They began by preaching to the Jews, but when the Jews rejected, the focus was turned primarily to the Gentiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul and Barnabas prepared for a second missionary journey. We will learn of their disagreement and why they separated. Paul took Silas. When they reached Lystra, they met Timothy, whom they took with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were headed to Asia, but Paul saw a man of Macedonia who called. Believing the Lord called them to preach there, they obeyed the Lord. They went to Philippi where they met Lydia with other women meeting. While in Philippi, a certain damsel, possessed with a spirit, followed them crying, \u201cThese men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation\u201d (Acts 16:17). When they cast the spirit out of her, Paul and Silas were arrested, beaten, and thrown into prison. That night at midnight, as they were singing praises to God, there was an earthquake, which released their bonds. This gave the jailer and his family an opportunity to be saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will learn of Paul, Silas, and Timothy as they continued on to Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens (where Paul was able to preach on Mars\u2019 hill, declaring unto them the \u201cUnknown God\u201d they ignorantly worshiped). Their next stop was in Corinth where they met Aquila and Priscilla, with whom Paul stayed. It was there in Corinth where Paul declared he was finished preaching to the Jews \u2013 he would go unto the Gentiles. However, God encouraged him to continue to speak \u2013 \u201cfor I have much people in this city\u201d (Acts 18:10). Paul remained there for about eighteen months teaching the Word of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul took Priscilla and Aquila with him to Ephesus where he left them. Paul began his return journey to Jerusalem, returning to many cities along the way, strengthening the disciples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
