Singing in the storm [Sermon]

Are you feeling under strain? Would you like to know a little thing that is actually a big thing and which can help you navigate your trials?

In this sermon on Acts 16:16-34 from July 25, 2021 I look at Paul and Silas singing in prison after having been unjustly treated, stripped, given a bloody throttling, put in prison, and their feet placed in stocks.

As a result they were… singing to God!

Why? What difference does it make? What can we learn from them today? Those are the questions I address in this sermon.

Music amplifies the goodness of God in a world that is trying to hit the mute button.

The YouTube version of the sermon is here, and the audio-only download is underneath. Also provided is a link to the extra background material called “growing deeper” as a part of The Pulse Podcast.
