Breaking down prison walls – May 19, 2019

May 19, 2019

Acts 16:16-40

RMC has been part of an interfaith group that spends time at the NC women’s prison, celebrating birthdays and sharing times of worship.

Prisons are created to get people out of the way. They did in the day of Paul and Silas, and they do so today. As Willy Jennings has said, prisons are never about criminals; they’re about societies. They’re a tool for control and containment.

To believe in Jesus is to be set free, just as the jailer was from the jail and the prisoner from the prison.
