Acts 16:25
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
What happens when the church prays?
There is an abiding sense of unity
God hears the prayers of the righteous
God acts on behalf of His followers
A Prayer Vigil at Midnight
Acts 16:25-26
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose.
The place: a jail cell
The worshipers: Paul and Silas
The hour: midnight
The ritual: Prayer and songs
The objective: praises unto God
The results: doors opened and bands loosed
The escape: to freedom’s holy light
The aftermath: the jailer and his family were saved
Good News in the Midst of the Storm
Acts 27:22
But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.
God sends the storm to bring the wayward back to him
God sends the storm to teach us the necessity of faith
God sends the storm to reassure the righteous
