2. The love of money corrupts character. (Acts 16:19-21)
3. They were severely and unjustly punished. (Acts 16:22-24)
4. They sang praise in the midst of adversity. (Acts 16:25-28)
5. They shared the gospel with the jailer. (Acts 16:29-32)

Next steps...

• Keep your focus on Jesus and on advancing his kingdom, and if the evil one harasses you, deal with him decisively and authoritatively in Christ.
• Be careful about the love of money – for it can quickly corrupt your character.
• Try praising God in the midst of adversity and see how it changes your attitude.
