  Brothers and sisters, I I know it's late, but I think it's
• 0:06
  important that we understand how to have strong faith.
• 0:11
  Eurekus. Oh, Lord, let him be.
• 0:16
  All right. Eurekus, speak to us.
• 0:19
  Say something. Say anything.
• 0:21
  What if he can't speak? Oh, you're right.
• 0:25
  Eurekus. Move something.
• 0:27
  Move your hand, your arm, your foot, anything.
• 0:34
  He did. Don't say that all.
• 0:37
  Right. All right.
• 0:38
  I'm sorry. My apologies.
• 0:41
  Do you really think he's dead? Oh, he did.
• 0:45
  Oh, how would you know you're not a doctor?
• 0:47
  How did you know someone's dead? True, I'm not a doctor, but it
• 0:51
  doesn't take a genius to know you fall three stories from
• 0:55
  building, lying flat on your face on the ground.
• 0:59
  You're dead. There's no coming back from
• 1:01
  that. And two, look at him.
• 1:03
  He's not breathing, he's not going.
• 1:06
  He's dead. He's dead.
• 1:13
  I can see the headlines now. Paul.
• 1:16
  Preaches man to death. Oh.
• 1:19
  Really, Bart? Eudicus falling asleep had
• 1:22
  nothing to do with Paul's preaching.
• 1:24
  I personally could listen to Paul preach all night.
• 1:26
  Me too. You know what?
• 1:28
  Eudicus was tired because he works hard day and night.
• 1:31
  You, on the other hand, would know nothing about working hard.
• 1:34
  OK, I was joking. My apologies.
• 1:39
  Too soon. Too soon.
• 1:42
  And besides, Paul probably feels terrible enough without you
• 1:44
  making jokes. Guys.
• 1:47
  Here comes Paul. Here
• 1:58
  What Humpty Dumpty? What, what?
• 2:02
  What is that? Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
• 2:05
  All the King's horses, all the King's men couldn't put Humpty
• 2:07
  together again. He's dead.
• 2:10
  What? Planet are you from?
• 2:11
  What? What planet am I from?
• 2:13
  From planet reality. He fell to his death.
• 2:17
  There's no coming back from that now.
• 2:19
  Somebody needs to go get his parents so they can prepare the
• 2:21
  body for burial. He's right.
• 2:24
  Agnes someone instantly. Don't trouble yourselves.
• 2:29
  His life is still in him. Is he kidding?
• 2:33
  Who does he think he is? He Paul, he's using his faith.
• 2:36
  Don't you get it? He's believing and speaking in
• 2:38
  accordance with God's Word. When you believe and speak with
• 2:40
  the word of God, it stops the attack of the devil.
• 2:44
  What are you talking about? He's dead, Det Dead.
• 2:50
  No, he's not. Look.
• 2:56
  Well, I'll be Paul used that God kind of faith to raise Euticus
• 3:02
  from the dead. That is one fiery dart that just
• 3:05
  got quenched. Praise God, that was a miracle.
• 3:08
  Oh, this meeting is far from over.
• 3:10
  It's just getting started. I can feel it.
• 3:12
  Can you feel it? Maybe you feel it.
• 3:14
  Oh, we have a long night ahead of us.
• 3:15
  Go on. Well, looks like Euticus is the
• 3:18
  only one getting any sleep tonight.
• 3:40
  Hey, Uncle Barney. Yeah, there's a giant
• 3:44
  grasshopper right over there and I think I can take it out, man.
• 3:48
  Oh, no. Well, you're the one with the
• 3:49
  sword. You should go protect us.
• 3:51
  Yeah. You got it, Uncle Barney.
• 3:53
  I'm ready. Oh, this is going to be good.
• 4:00
  The Master is going to be so proud of me.
• 4:04
  I will be responsible for single handedly breaking up the
• 4:09
  partnership of the greatest missionaries and prophets of
• 4:13
  God, Paul and Barnabas. Oh, here comes.
• 4:19
  Paul Barnabas. Paul, hey you.
• 4:25
  Ready to go? Visit all those churches we
• 4:27
  started. Yeah, we're we're.
• 4:28
  Ready and. What do you mean we're ready?
• 4:31
  Who's we? John Markey.
• 4:34
  Coming, uncle, Captain Barney thought.
• 4:38
  We talked about this. But he's my nephew.
• 4:42
  Hey, guys, Sorry I'm late. I just was killing a giant
• 4:44
  grasshopper over there. Nobody move a muscle.
• 4:49
  Go ahead. Get behind me.
• 4:50
  Get behind me, Mr. Paul. There's a giant chipmunk right
• 4:53
  over there, and I'm going to just.
• 4:54
  I'll take care of it. What's up, Mr. Chipmunk?
• 4:57
  You want to go? All right, No weapons.
• 5:02
  No way I'm not taking that overgrown baby with us again.
• 5:07
  Come on, I I promise he won't wet the bed.
• 5:11
  He's wrestling a giant chipmunk for crying out loud.
• 5:15
  But he'll win. Oh, come.
• 5:20
  It's just a phase he's going through.
• 5:22
  He'll grow up. He's not coming.
• 5:27
  Final answer. Final answer fine.
• 5:31
  Then I'm not going either. Final answer.
• 5:37
  Final answer well. Fine, don't come see if I care.
• 5:44
  You want a piece of me? No, I want a piece of that thumb
• 5:47
  sucking nephew of yours. Aha, he's he's.
• 5:52
  Using the force. I knew it you.
• 5:58
  Were upset because last time he was sucking on your thumb.
• 6:02
  Why can't he suck his own thumb? Because his mom made a promise
• 6:06
  that if he went on that trip with us, he couldn't suck his
• 6:08
  thumb. That's.
• 6:10
  Brilliant. He's not coming.
• 6:13
  If you want to take him, that's it.
• 6:17
  We're splitting up. Look, Paul, if if you're going
• 6:20
  to make me choose between you and my nephew, I'm going to pick
• 6:23
  family every time. Oh yes, it's working.
• 6:29
  They're splitting up. Hey, hey, why don't you hit
• 6:33
  somebody, will ya? All right, you take John Mark
• 6:42
  and sail over to Cyprus and visit all the churches there.
• 6:45
  I'll get Silas to come with me. We'll go to Syria and Cilicia
• 6:48
  and we'll get this done in half the time.
• 6:53
  Done all right. Oh no, the Helmet of Salvation
• 6:58
  is guarding their minds from the attacks of the enemy.
• 7:03
  Oh, I'm in big trouble now 'cause 'cause now there are two
• 7:10
  missionary teams. John, Mark, let's go.
• 7:17
  I can't. The job on Scotty Pin.
• 7:27
  But you said he'd win. Yeah.
• 7:32
  Stop. Like get up.
• 7:33
  Nice kick. Yeah.
• 7:38
  Damn. That's right, Chimok.
• 7:41
  You don't mess with me and my uncle, man.
• 7:45
  Thanks, uncle. Hey, where's Mr. Paul going?
• 7:49
  Is he not coming with us? No.
• 7:51
  Come on man, now I got to suck my own thumb.
• 7:54
  My mom's going to be so mad at me.
• 7:56
  Oh, John, Mark, grow up. You're 26 years old.

  Chief honor to help Roman soldier.

  Yes, we have a very big and powerful army.
• 8:16
  Yes, Where are you, prisoner? Oh, you mean Paul, you went to
• 8:23
  go get some more wood for the fire?
• 8:25
  Oh, no. No necessary, Paul.
• 8:28
  No have to go get wood. Natives get firewood.
• 8:31
  Oh no, I didn't ask him. He wanted to go himself.
• 8:35
  Him try to escape. No, no, no.
• 8:39
  Paul would never escape. I trust him with my life.
• 8:43
  Strange prisoner him no try to escape him no afraid to be
• 8:47
  punished. No, Paul, he's not afraid of
• 8:50
  anything. He's.
• 8:52
  Got this peace. I don't understand it, but,
• 8:55
  well, he's almost he's coming. Why don't you ask him?
• 8:59
  Oh, poisonous Viper. God punish Paul.
• 9:08
  Paul a murderer? No, he's not a murderer, trust
• 9:10
  me. I got no lie.
• 9:12
  He seen snake to punish Paul. Paul dropped dead now.
• 9:23
  No, no, no, no. Don't.
• 9:25
  Don't bow down to me. I'm just a man like you.
• 9:28
  Bow down only to God, you. Beat by poisonous snake, you're
• 9:34
  not afraid. Why should I be afraid?
• 9:37
  God's on my side. I have his peace in me.
• 9:41
  You possess great power. I possess Jesus, the Son of God.
• 9:48
  He lives inside of me. It's his power that's healed me
• 9:51
  from from that snake bite and well, this power can heal you
• 9:55
  too, chief. His power healed my nose from
• 9:59
  the infection from ring, Yeah, no.
• 10:03
  No, no, no, no, Jesus said lay hands on the sick and they would
• 10:07
  get better. I'm I'm just going to lay my
• 10:09
  hands on you pain that commands you to go from his body in Jesus
• 10:16
  name. Pain gone.
• 10:25
  Pain gone. Your nose ring.
• 10:29
  It's OK. Pain gone.
• 10:32
  Pain gone. Come, come.
• 10:35
  Many, many sick people in village.
• 10:37
  You pray for them. Come, bring God.
• 10:39
  Come, come, come, come. I'm always prepared to share the
• 10:42
  good news when my feet are shod with the gospel of peace.
• 10:44
  If it's OK with the captain, that.
• 10:46
  Is who am I to get in God's way? Let's go.
• 11:00
  God I'm starving, My meal sure would make me happy.
• 11:04
  This isn't McDonald's, so forget the Happy Meal.
• 11:07
  This is prison. You get bread and water at
• 11:09
  bedtime. Oh, excuse me, Mr. Paul.
• 11:15
  Yes, you have a visitor. Anna, so good to see you.
• 11:23
  Oh, I brought you fruit. Thank you if.
• 11:26
  You need help with that later. You just let me know, Mr. Paul.
• 11:28
  And they say no grocery store, huh?
• 11:31
  So forget the fruit. Beat it.
• 11:32
  Yes, Sir, Mr. Paul. I'm just kidding, Roman.
• 11:36
  And come back after Anna leaves. Help yourself.
• 11:41
  You know, at the gate when they saw the fruit, they took it away
• 11:45
  from me, but when I told them that it was for you, they they
• 11:47
  apologized and they gave it back.
• 11:50
  Prisoners aren't allowed to receive gifts.
• 11:53
  They're only allowed visitors once a week.
• 11:55
  But if you tell them that you're here to see me, they'll let you
• 11:58
  in any time. They don't treat you like other
• 12:00
  prisoners. Hey, God.
• 12:02
  You don't care to Taco Bell. Be quiet.
• 12:07
  No, I I got to do pretty much what I want in here.
• 12:10
  Except leave well. I'm safe in here.
• 12:14
  Out there. I could be killed.
• 12:15
  I mean, the Jews are really upset with me, but hey, I I got
• 12:19
  to tell the entire Jewish council how I got saved.
• 12:23
  And did you get to pray with them are.
• 12:25
  You kidding me? They don't want to hear the
• 12:27
  truth about Jesus. That's why I'm in here.
• 12:31
  But hey, I'm writing. I'm trying to finish 2/3 of the
• 12:35
  New Testament. At least get a drink or
• 12:38
  something. How about a Doctor Pepper?
• 12:41
  If you don't be quiet, you're going to get a doctor, but it
• 12:43
  won't be a Doctor Pepper. Oh, you know, we started praying
• 12:49
  for you to be released, but it took us a while at first because
• 12:53
  we were too upset to pray. But then we realized that the
• 12:56
  devil was distracting us, so we wouldn't pray for you.
• 12:59
  The armor of God equips us to pray effectively.
• 13:03
  You were only around earlier to tell us that we could have been
• 13:06
  praying for you sooner. Pray that I get opportunities to
• 13:09
  preach the gospel, and then I say exactly what God wants me to
• 13:14
  say. I heard King Agrippa and his
• 13:17
  wife are coming to visit the governor.
• 13:19
  I'm believing God that I get to speak to them.
• 13:23
  And then after that, I'm thinking about appealing to
• 13:27
  Caesar. Caesar, but why?
• 13:30
  When else would I get an opportunity to tell Caesar about
• 13:34
  Jesus? But this is perfect.
• 13:36
  This is. Prison No.
• 13:37
  Not to me it's not. I'm free to do what I like.
• 13:42
  I'm writing to encourage the churches and admit I'm a better
• 13:46
  writer than I am a speaker. When I do get a preach, I'm
• 13:49
  preaching to councils and to governors and kings and to
• 13:55
  Caesar. Well, I better get going.
• 13:59
  It was good to see you're OK. Doing great, thanks to God.
• 14:03
  Thanks so much for the fruit. Hey, Roman.
• 14:07
  Yes, Sir. Mr. Paul.
• 14:08
  Roman, could you show out of the way out?
• 14:11
  My pleasure. All right, thanks.
• 14:12
  Roman and Anna come again anytime.
• 14:16
  And Roman, come back when you're done and get you some fruit and
• 14:20
  get some for Gabe, too. Thanks, Paul.
• 14:23
  You're welcome, Gabe. Try to keep it down.
• 14:26
  I got it right. Sorry, we help someone and what
• 14:40
  do we get thrown in prison and eat with a whip?
• 14:46
  I'm cold and frightened and wanted to cry 'cause I hear it.
• 14:52
  Prison is never gonna die. We have some water.
• 14:58
  Water we get. You stop singing that song.
• 15:02
  But I'm frightened. I've never been to prison
• 15:06
  before. I mean, I I got a ticket once
• 15:09
  for racing a camel through town when I was a teenager, but but
• 15:14
  never thrown into prison. We're going to die here.
• 15:19
  We're not going to die here. And how do you know we're not
• 15:24
  going to die here? Because God will deliver us are.
• 15:28
  You kidding me? No, I'm.
• 15:29
  Serious where is your faith? Oh, where's my faith?
• 15:32
  Remember that really large gentleman that was in here?
• 15:35
  Well, he beat it out of me. He.
• 15:37
  Didn't beat it out of you. OK, so tell me this then.
• 15:42
  If God is always on our side, then how can he let this happen,
• 15:46
  huh? Tell me, Mr. Preacher, man.
• 15:48
  Silas, it's Satan that doesn't like what we're doing.
• 15:52
  Of course he's going to try anything he can to get us to
• 15:54
  quit doing God's will. When I.
• 15:56
  Work because I quit after this. You're on your own.
• 16:00
  You don't even mean that that That's a spirit of fear talking
• 16:04
  through you. Don't be afraid, Silas.
• 16:07
  We overcome fear by putting our trust and confidence in God's
• 16:11
  Word. How?
• 16:14
  Praise Him. Praise Him You want me to
• 16:17
  praise. We just got beat with a whip and
• 16:18
  you want me to praise God? God doesn't need your praise.
• 16:23
  Good. Because I'm not giving it to
• 16:25
  him. OK, fine.
• 16:27
  Just stay afraid. Just stay frightened.
• 16:31
  Keep singing your silly little song and feeding that spirit of
• 16:35
  fear. Go ahead, sing it.
• 16:41
  I don't want to. Why not?
• 16:43
  What? Why don't you want to sing your
• 16:44
  little song? You're right.
• 16:46
  Is that what you want to hear? Every time I sing that song I
• 16:49
  feel worse. That's exactly why you got to
• 16:53
  praise God, to overcome that fear.
• 16:58
  Praise is a weapon to defeat the enemy.
• 17:01
  God gave us that weapon because he knew we were going to have
• 17:05
  problems in the youth because there's an enemy here and when
• 17:09
  you've got a problem, the best thing you can do is praise God.
• 17:13
  If you wait until everything is perfect before you, praise God,
• 17:16
  you're you're you're you're just going to wait around and die
• 17:19
  all. Right, let's see, we praise God
• 17:28
  and what do we get? Our faith gets stronger without
• 17:33
  breaking a sweat. The devil is defeated.
• 17:37
  That's what we're going to see. This prison can't hold us
• 17:41
  because our God sets us free. Hey, you're right.
• 17:45
  I feel great. I'm not scared.
• 17:47
  Anymore, I told you. Hey, we're going to get out of
• 17:51
  this prison in Jesus
