Nine: It was really cool that Paul raised that guy from the dead. Paul was right proclaiming about the idols: they were just statues.
Twelve: When somebody tells you something about Christianity, you should check it in the Bible before believing it. Even today there are people who oppose Jesus like the silversmiths in this passage. We can stand up to them.
Forty-seven: Paul singing in prison is an astounding thing to think about. It's dark. He's chained; it's midnight; and he's up singing, praising God. The other prisoners are listening to him. What a witness! The rest of the story is icing on the cake: earthquake, repentance, baptism, release.
