Guest speaker Shannon Kapp invites you to explore the powerful concept of 'staying' in your faith journey through the study of Acts 16, where Paul and Silas demonstrate unwavering faithfulness in the face of adversity. Their story teaches us that sometimes, the most Christ-like thing we can do is simply stay put, even when everything in us wants to run. We learned that worship isn't just for good times - it's a weapon in our darkest moments. The jailer's transformation reminds us that our decision to stay faithful might be the very thing that saves someone else's life. This message challenges us to reconsider our 'exit strategies' and instead focus on staying rooted in our purpose, aware of those around us who need hope. It's a call to defiant faith, to choose joy in the face of injustice, and to remember that with Jesus, pain always has a purpose. As we navigate our own challenges, let's ask ourselves: Where is God calling us to stay, even when it's difficult? Our faithfulness might just be the miracle someone else is waiting for.
