Jesus Takes Captivity Captive (Cultivating Generosity Part 11)

A violent persecution breaks out in Jerusalem. Saul drags men and women off to prison. The church is scattered.And yet the gospel spreads even further.In Acts 8–9, we will watch Jesus reclaim captives in unexpected places:Samaria, the long-lost northern kingdom,a wounded and excluded Ethiopian eunuch,and finally Saul himself—the captor who becomes captive to Christ.Along the way, we will see a kingdom that moves not by coercion, but by the Spirit… a Savior who joins people in their suffering… and a baptismal family large enough to unite former enemies, outcasts, slaves, and persecutors into one people.Join us this Sunday as we continue our series Cultivating Generosity: Becoming a Jubilee Community and explore how Jesus “takes captivity captive” in order to set people free.
