Episode Description

On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the glorious reality that God has acted to save sinners—which we will see through baptisms as well as in our study of Acts 16: 6-15.
As the gospel moves into new territory, we’re reminded:
1) God providentially opens doors so the gospel is proclaimed.
2) God graciously opens hearts so the gospel is received.
If you’re already a Christian, this is a truth you already know. You are a Christian because someone shared Jesus with you and, as they did, God the Spirit gave you a new heart, a mind to comprehend the gospel, and ears to hear it. In short: God opened your heart to believe the gospel and to see the beauty of the Risen Savior.
And if you’re exploring Christianity, this is the miracle we are praying God would work in your heart this weekend 🙌🏿
As you prepare for Sunday, pray:
– That the Lord would open our eyes afresh to the greatness of what He has done
– That He would work miraculously in the lives of those that He is drawing to Himself this weekend
– That He would strengthen those being baptized as they take this step of obedience.
