 as they are arrested. You know what? It is a beautiful ending because they are freed from prison. Call it there, a little introduction here. We are the platoons, primary A class. It is our privilege and honor to bring these children some. With me here is Andy, Steph, Gracie, and his phelix, Amp teacher Steve. Now back to our story of Paul and Silas. Thinking about it, Paul was never to preach in Philippi, but he found himself preaching in Philippi. Andy, how did Paul find himself preaching in Philippi? Had a vision that a man telling him to come and preach in Macedonia. Oh, Paul had a vision of a man telling him to come to Macedonia and help them preach. Elas Christians, we have that wonderful hymn that Macedonia called. Did he go? Did Paul go? Yes Gracie? Paul went to Macedonia. Oh, immediately Paul arose, prayed for the journey and left. You know what? When he went there, one sabat, they went by the river side, that was the custom to go and pray there. And as they were going to pray, a lady, a slave girl followed them and this slave girl had the spirit of divination. Do you understand that spirit of divination? Do you know Steph? Divination is when you can tell the future. She could foretell the future and the masters took advantage of her and used her to make a lot of money. But Paul and Silas were very kind to this girl. Know what Paul and Silas did? Know what they did? What Paul did? Andy? They said, in the name of Jesus Christ, get out that spirit. Oh, Paul commanded the spirits in the name of Jesus and they left the girl. And the girl was quiet because the girl had been healed. So Paul did very good things to this girl, Paul and Silas. Do you love it when people are kind to us? Do you like it? Yes. But you know what? Paul and Silas were very kind to this girl. But not everybody was happy. So they said, we are going to do bad things to Paul and Silas. Know what they did? Do you know what did they do? They grabbed them and then they dragged them to a marketplace and then they brought them to face the authorities. Oh, no. They grabbed these people, took their outer garments, they scored them, they whipped them. Then they brought them with a charge that these people are preaching things that we, the Romans, can't believe. Then they handed them over to, to who? To who? To who, Andy? A jailer. To a jailer to take care of them. And then the jailer placed them where? Which part of the jail? Yes, Gracie? The era part of the jail. You know, the most inner part of the jail so that the cool note is kept. And then they were kept there. And now this jailer, first time they are fit, time tightly in the hands and they were in a discomforting position and now they were crying, they were crying. But this night, you want to talk about it was not the usual life. You know what they did? Can you guess what they did? Yes, tell. Oh, like our key text. But at midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God. But the other jailers were listening to them. So this night it was the unusual one. So the jailers said, ah, every day it has been them weeping, weeping. But for today, people who are tired, you never point, speak. When they were singing hymns to God, the other prisoners were listening and then they asked for themselves how can these people sing when they have been wept? People who have been wept, people who are out are going to have been taken out, they have been tied. How can they sing praises to God? But now they kept singing and suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly. Ha, ha. Suddenly an earthquake came to the out and sometimes fell down. Oh, and you see earthquake. But I don't understand earthquake. Oh, and you understand what's an earthquake. And sometimes it shakes in the out. Oh, the out was shaking in the middle of the night. It was shaking and all of a sudden, the doors to open and the windows and everything. But let us go back to the jailer. So the jailer, the jailer, ha. The jailer was from sleeping. So the jailer woke up, deep sleep hold, so the jailer thought they are these kids. Reached out to his ward and... He planned to kill himself but he had a voice from the prison saying... Shouting? Stop, do not do any harm on yourself. And then he became happy and then he took them to his house and then he went down. Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it. Very good point. The jailer shouted, Hey, we are all here. Then two pole ensailers outside and then ask pole ensailers a question. A question, yes, Steve? How to be saved. Oh, sas, what can I do to be saved? I don't know whether there was an answer or not. Was there a greasy? She said, believe in God and you will be saved. You believe in God and you will be saved. I don't know whether he believed, did he? Oh, Andy? He believed and his entire family was after him. Wait, believe in God and you will be saved. So he believed and him, Andy says, and his entire family was saved. After pole ensailers shared the word of God with them. Right? Yes. Now I'm wondering, I'm wondering, basic. Lidia also invited them to her home. Oh, we are coming to Lidia, just back in Hidunia. They were called and then when they learnt that they were Roman citizens, they became afraid and then the magistrates apologised. But now, can you revisit the position of the jailer, pole ensailers singing in prison? Can you revisit? Yes. If you ask me how they prayed, I don't know what prayer they made in the prison. Was it the Lord's Prayer? Which song did they sing in the prison? Was it an old testament him, oh, that Lord is my shepherd? I don't know. Gracie, might you have any idea what these people say in the prison? I don't know, but I think they were singing. Rejoice in the Lord always and again. Rejoice in the Lord always and again. I think they were singing. I'm happy today. So happy. And roll them in the sea. And roll them in the sea. Oh, Jesus took my burden. And roll them in the sea. Never to remember anymore. Whichever song, whichever prayer they made there, what I know is prayer in some very, very powerful. It's one of the tools we can use as children to minister or reach out to fellow children. Are you people in Kula Skoral? Yes. You sing there. Yes, all the songs we have learned there we can use to reach out to fellow children. Now let's fast forward and see how they were released from jail. But they released from jail? Let me tell you about the magistrates. The magistrates sent word and said, set those people free. And when they heard, they said... What did they say? They say no because they didn't want to get a fair trial. Thank you very much, Junior. But did they say these people scotched us publicly? They said you scotched us publicly. You have beaten us publicly. Now you want us to live secretly. No, no, no, we will not live secretly. What a point. So they called the magistrates and they came. But you know what? The magistrates also learned that Paul and Silas were Romans. And so they apologized to them because they had mistreated them before. They apologized to them and they left and went to leaders place. You remember we mentioned leaders? Yes, they went to leaders place and they encouraged the brethren and then they also left. Now let's finish. We have learned several lessons. Many many many many many many many many many. But I want to just around think. Who go first? Junior. What lesson have we learned from this story of Paul and Silas? Nothing is impossible. Oh, nothing is impossible with the lord is a lot of old flesh. Imagine they were tied in jail midnight. But they sang hymns to God and prayed and the doors were open. We listen to us, and those watching, some of us are parents, and they too are children of God. Please, do you have a message for them? Now parents, remember when you're facing trouble and your heart is... ...and your heart seems to fail. Remember Paul and Silas singing in the jail? The Lord will surely help you when you call on his name. God is our refuge and strength. Now children, meet us next time. See you there.
