Receiving the Gift
March 12, 2023 • Bryan Fojtasek • Acts 2:36–41, Ephesians 2:4–10
God is offering the gift of salvation to everyone, but we need to make an intentional decision to receive the gift. Peter's sermon in Acts 2 helps us understand what it looks like to accept God's offer of salvation: obeying Jesus as our master, trusting him as our savior, and being reborn through repentance and baptism
Setting Captives Free
February 19, 2023 • Bryan Fojtasek • Acts 16:16–34, John 8:31–32
What must I do to be saved? There are countless important questions we wrestle with throughout our lives, but there's nothing more important than understanding how to find salvation. God carefully orchestrated a series of events that led to a Roman jailer asking this question in the context of God setting captives free. And that helps us understand that salvation is about freedom. The takeaway for us is that Jesus wants to set us free from everything that holds us captive.
