Acts: Avoiding Melt Downs

Sometimes great trials and setbacks actually pave the way for greater works of God. This was evident in Acts. As we watch Paul and Silas suffer and then bear lots of fruit, we will be taught how to not melt down in the rough times so we can see through and finally see how God used those times for much good in our lives and in others.

Acts 16
