    In Acts 16:25–40, Paul and Silas remain faithful to God while imprisoned in Philippi.

Yet through it all, God continues to strengthen His church and grow His people.📖 Scripture: Acts 15:36–16:5🙌 Main Idea: Even on mission together we will have personality conflicts and a need to sacrifice for others.
