After a brief hiatus for the recent Easter series, we’re back to the Book of Acts from now till mid-June. Our plan is to be done to the end of chapter 19 on June 16 before we head into the summer and our parables series. As we come to Acts 16:25-40 this Sunday, we pick up the story of Paul and Silas’ arrest and imprisonment in Philippi. That one night of incarceration led to the salvation of many and the establishing of a church in that Macedonian city. The jailer, who came to faith in Christ that night, asked, “What must I do to be saved?” and we’ll look at the passage to ask ourselves, “What must I do to see others saved?” That, after all, is our mission as believers.

Faith and works should travel side by side, step answering to step, like the legs of men walking. First faith, and then works; and then faith again, and then works again—until they can scarcely distinguish which is the one and which is the other.

William Booth

…I long to see people respond in faith (v. 33-40)
