The Philippian Jailer (Acts 16:16-40)

About this episode

This episode discusses the story of the Philippian jailer from Acts 16 and the transformative power of faith in Jesus.

In Acts 16, the Philippian jailer is so stunned that Paul and Silas stay in jail after an earthquake opened up a way of escape that he asks, "What must I do to be saved?" After putting his faith in Jesus, he and his entire household are saved! God is such a good God that He even brings purpose into our suffering and can use it to transform the lives of those around us.
