What if following the Holy Spirit does not always lead to comfort, success, or an easier path?

Acts 16 shows Paul and Silas being led by God, redirected by the Spirit, opposed by people, beaten unjustly, and thrown into prison. But here’s what most people miss: their suffering was not proof that they had missed God. It became the place where worship, trust, and salvation were revealed.

In this teaching, David walks through Acts 16 and explores Paul circumcising Timothy, the Macedonian call, Lydia’s conversion, the slave girl with a spirit of divination, and Paul and Silas worshiping in prison.

Key themes include:

Being led by the Holy Spirit
Surrendering personal rights for the gospel
Why God sometimes says no
Obedience during suffering
Worship in unjust circumstances
Trusting God with the results
