In Acts 16:16-40 we see a powerful God who is in control over Satan and demon, suffering, and all of our circumstances. God is in control. Does your life reflect that reality?

We have the responsibility, privilege, and joy of being participants in the advance of the Gospel into the world, but it's the Holy Spirit who empowers and grows the Kingdom of Christ.

Is there anything holding you back from participating in the mission of Christ? Are you finding rest and joy in the reality that your salvation and other's salvation is the work of God along? Are you listening to and obeying the Spirit of Christ? Are you saturating yourself in the word of Christ so that you can distinguish between the Spirit of Christ and the Spirit of the Age?

Great leaders go astray, and people fail, and people’s plans change, but God is faithful, and he never fails, and God’s plans remain the same. Our hope is not in man but in God.

What are you hoping in?

Where might you be hoping in your own faithfulness instead of God's faithfulness?

We are saved only by the grace of the Lord Jesus.

There are four things we should learn from the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ:
1. God is in control
2. Man is not in control
3. Tribulation is here and happening and has been for 2,000 years
4. Jesus is coming and Christians should live like it
