The Frightening Philippi Jail

When Paul and Silas were thrown into a dark, scary jail, they didn’t cry — they sang! Discover how God turned fear into joy and chains into freedom.

The Frightening Philippi Jail retells the story from Acts 16, where Paul and Silas are imprisoned for sharing the good news of Jesus. But instead of giving up, they pray and sing praises to God — even in the middle of the night!

Suddenly, an earthquake shakes the jail, the doors fly open, and the prisoners are free. But the greatest rescue happens when the jailer and his family come to believe in Jesus. This joyful retelling helps children see that God is always in control, even in scary moments, and that His love can bring light to the darkest places.
