You Can’t Sweep Some Things Under The Rug

In You Can’t Sweep Some Things Under The Rug, Pastor Aill R. Harris, Jr. teaches from Acts 16:35–40, demonstrating that while God is a God of grace, He is also a God of truth and justice. After Paul and Silas are wrongfully beaten and imprisoned, the authorities attempt to quietly dismiss the situation. Instead of allowing the injustice to be hidden, Paul insists on accountability and transparency. Pastor Harris reveals four important principles from this passage: discern the trickery of convenience, demand the truth over a coverup, desire transparency for culpability, and development for times to come. This message challenges believers to stand for what is right, refuse to ignore unresolved issues, and recognize that confronting the truth often paves the way for future growth and protection. Whether in our personal lives, our relationships, or our walk with God, some things cannot—and should not—be swept under the rug.
