Today the Book of Acts class was transported back to Philippi during Paul's second missionary journey. A group of students helped us better understand what went on as Paul and Silas cast a demon out of a slave girl, were beaten and thrown into prison, sang God's praises despite their afflictions, led the jailer and his (her in this case) family to faith in Christ and demanded a public release from prison because they were unjustly imprisoned.
Above, Paul and Silas are put in the care of the jailer and a guard. To the right, the guard listens while Paul and Silas are entreated by the magistrate to quietly leave town (so he won't have to admit a miscarriage of justice.)
This class session definitely got more discussion going than the usual lectures!
