Staying When You Could Leave

Jun 1, 2025    Gary Sandberg

What makes someone stay when every reason says they could run? In this powerful sermon from Bethany's Roots & Branches series, Pastor Gary explores the story of Paul and Silas in prison from Acts 16 — and how their actions, not just their words, sparked transformation in the lives of fellow prisoners and a desperate jailer.

Discover how:

Jesus’ prayer for unity strengthens us for bold witness

Paul and Silas’ hymns in prison created holy ground

Your everyday actions can plant seeds of faith

Evangelism starts not with shouting, but with showing

Even today, people are still asking, "What do you have that I need?" This message reminds us: preach the Gospel — let your actions make someone hungry for your words.
