Acts 20:6-8
6 But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days. 7 Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight. 8 There were many lamps in the upper room where they were gathered together.
Paul, Luke, and company joined up with the others who had gone ahead to Troas and stayed a week before gathering for a very long sermon. It lasted until midnight because Paul had much to say before leaving the next day. They did have a lot of lamps to keep people awake as the evening wore on. No matter how good a message, it can be difficult to stay focused or even awake to hear if it goes so long into the night… but words of life cause us to seize on these moments to hear.
