Joy in Obedience

Acts 16:16-34

While Paul and Silas were in Philippi (out of obedience to God) they were beaten and jailed.


Verse 25
--What were Paul and Silas doing while they were in prison?


These men were “joyful in hope, faithful in prayer, patient in affliction” Rom 12:12

--What were the other prisoners doing while they were in prison?


Verse 34
--Who believed and was saved in this passage?


--What was he filled with?


--Do you think Paul and Silas would have still gone to Philippi if they knew they would be beaten and imprisoned? Why or why not?

--Is obedience to God worth possible persecution?

--What do you expect to happen today? Are things going to go according to your plan?


--How should we react when problems or trials arise?


As you go throughout the day, remember this: do not let negative circumstances affect your joy!
