Seeking Discipleship and Salvation - June 1, 2025

Acts 16:16-34 offers a powerful illustration of discipleship and salvation, revealing the radical transformation that occurs when faith meets action. Paul and Silas, imprisoned for their unwavering commitment to the gospel, do not falter in their witness. Instead, they sing hymns and pray, demonstrating that discipleship is not merely about proclaiming Christ in comfort but about living in faith amid trials. When an earthquake shakes the prison, their chains fall off, yet they do not flee—they stay, leading the jailer to salvation. This moment underscores the fact that salvation is not just personal rescue, but a call to a new way of life, a discipleship that turns fear into faith and captivity into freedom.

Join us Sunday as we delve into how this passage invites us to a deeper understanding of what it means to follow Christ—how discipleship is a journey not defined by ease, but by trust, and how salvation transforms not just individuals, but entire households. Let us step into this story and see how it challenges us to live as disciples in a world that often resists the gospel. See you Sunday, in person or online.
