Bithynia
A region in Asia Minor where the Spirit forbade Paul to go
Asia MinorAbout This Place
A Roman province in northwestern Asia Minor along the Black Sea coast. Paul and his companions tried to enter Bithynia during the second missionary journey, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them — redirecting them to Troas and ultimately to Europe (Acts 16:7). Peter later addressed believers here in his first letter.

Your Inheritance Can't Be Touched
Peter writes to scattered believers going through it and reminds them their inheritance is imperishable, their trials are refining their faith like gold, and the salvation they have is so elite that even angels are trying to get a closer look.
Acts
The Jailbreak That Changed Everything
Paul recruits Timothy, the Holy Spirit literally reroutes the whole mission trip, and then Paul and Silas get beaten and thrown in jail — only to start a worship session so fire that God sends an earthquake to break the chains. The jailer goes from almost ending it all to getting baptized that same night.
