    Celebrating Faithful Growth Amid Turbulent Times

    Experience the inspiring continuation of the Post Sermon Reflections podcast as we dive deep into our series, 'The Body'. In this episode, we celebrate significant milestones in our faith community, specifically recognizing the achievements of eight baptisms in a single day and 50 total baptisms since the start of the COVID pandemic. Throughout the discussion, we examine the evidence of redemptive miracles witnessed as we navigate these challenging times.
    We are delighted to invite two special guests, Brianna and Donna, to share their insights, helping to unfold the pivotal sermon text from Acts 18:1-11. In this enlightening conversation, we explore how God’s unconditional sovereignty shapes our lives and nurtures our communities, and the vital importance of establishing a strong, faith-centered relationship with God. Central to our dialogue is the premise that God's purpose is to enable the Gospel to reach all, through proclamation and baptism, leading to personal transformation and the joyous sharing of faith.
    Join us in exploring how to contextualize the Gospel to resonate with diverse individuals and their unique circumstances. We delve into the immense role of the Sovereignty of God in forming connections, crafting new religious understandings, and notably, in spreading the Gospel mission.
    In this compelling episode, we face the profound reality that no one can independently reach God through self-made efforts or merits, but God instead chose to come to us through Jesus Christ. We examine cultural differences, universal truths and a deep dive into the powerful symbolism of baptism. We also reflect on the promise of suffering in this lifetime, and how faith and acceptance of Christ shape our identity and purpose in life.
    Closing this episode, we encourage those yet to know Christ to accept him as their Savior and spread the good news, thus, building a strong community of faith. We aspire that this podcast episode ignites your spirit, deepens your understanding of Christ's immense love, and draws you closer to harmony with Him.
