A Woman, a Slave Girl, and a JailerMay 4, 2025 • RD McClenagan • Acts 16:11–40This Sunday, RD continues our series on the Book of Acts. In Acts 16, we see how the gospel meets three very different people—a successful businesswoman, a spiritually oppressed slave girl, and a hardened Roman jailer—and transforms them each in unique ways through an encounter with Jesus. The gospel is for everyone; it transforms and disrupts, overturning personal lives and societal systems with the love and authority of Jesus. The result isn't just individual salvation but the formation of a radically diverse, Spirit-filled community called the church.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

For our baby dedications at Mile End, Lyndsey recounts the story of Paul and Silas's miraculous prison release, the jailer's conversion, and his entire household being baptised. Through it, we look at how the story of Scripture transforms our understanding of who we are as God's 'image-bearers', and how this can teach our children not just to believe in biblical principles, but to be ‘Jesus-people' in our world today.

Acts 16:25-34. In Acts 16, we read of an intriguing account of two prisoners helping a jailer and his household find Jesus. In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman examines the account of the conversion of the Philippian Jailer to help motivate those outside of Christ to follow Him and to encourage and motivate those in Christ to help others find Him.

Sunil Kumar Gupta served as a jailer at Tihar Jail, one of India's most notorious prisons, from 1981 until his retirement in 2016. Born into a modest background, Gupta left a stable job at the Indian Railways to pursue his dream of becoming a prison officer, joining Tihar Jail as an assistant superintendent. During his tenure, Gupta was involved in numerous high-profile cases, witnessing the execution of several inmates including the notorious Ranga and Billa, and Afzal Guru, involved in the 2001 Indian Parliament attack. His experiences and observations led him to significant contributions in prison reform; he played a key role in drafting the Delhi Prison Act and Manual in 1988, established Tihar's first legal aid cell, and initiated special court sessions within the prison to expedite minor cases. Post-retirement, Gupta transitioned into law, practicing at the Supreme Court of India and the Delhi High Court. His memoir, "Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer," co-authored with journalist Sunetra Choudhury, became the basis for a Netflix series, shedding light on the inner workings of India's prison system. Gupta's career not only highlighted the systemic issues within Indian prisons but also his commitment to reform and humane treatment of inmates.

In this gut-wrenching episode, meet Sunil Gupta, real life Tihar Jailer and Author of ‘Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer.' He shares all his experiences about the brutal and gritty world of the infamous Indian prison that inspired a Netflix series. Sunil describes the goings-on at Tihar Jail, and addresses the rumours of sexual assault and things being smuggled in. Witness to high-profile convicts like Afzal Guru, Manu Sharma, Charles Sobhraj, Maqbool Bhat, he gives an insider's perspective on what these criminals were like. Also witness to all the hangings at Tihar Jail, he reveals surprising facts about these high-profile convicts that highlights their humanity. He talks about reforming the prison system by introducing free legal aid for prisoners which went on to become a fundamental right in India. Sunil recounts how Tihar Jail was the first prison to begin video conferencing between the court and prisoners, among many other commendable reforms. When asked about his take on executions, he says he is against ‘faasi' as in his opinion, only the poor are hanged. The rich get away with a lot. He recalls how the staff at Tihar Jail handled Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal's imprisonment, when the entire jail premises were surrounded by protestors. A jailer with a law degree, he asserts that he is not afraid of any backlash because he is only telling the truth.

How does a Black man in Austin get sent to prison on a 70-year sentence for stealing a tuna sandwich, likely costing Texas taxpayers roughly a million dollars? In America, your liberty--or even your life--may be forfeit not simply because of what you do, but where you do it. If the same man had run off with a lobster roll from a lunch counter in Maine it's unlikely that he'd be spending the rest of his life behind bars. The U.S. incarcerates more people than any other industrial democracy in the world. We have more ex-prisoners than the entire population of Ireland, and more people with a felony record than the populations of Denmark, Norway, New Zealand and Liberia combined. Why did the United States become the world's biggest jailer? And, just as importantly, what has it done to us? What are the costs--socially, economically, and politically--of having the world's largest population of ex-prisoners? And what can we do about it? In The Jailer's Reckoning: How Mass Incarceration Is Damaging America (Rowman & Littlefield, 2024), Kevin B. Smith explains that the United States became the world's biggest jailer because politicians wanted to do something about a very real problem with violent crime. That effort was accelerated by a variety of partisan and socio-demographic trends that started to significantly reshape the political environment in the 1980s and 1990s. The force of those trends varied from state to state, but ultimately led to not just historically unprecedented levels of incarceration, but equally unprecedented numbers of ex-prisoners. Serving time behind bars is now a normalized social experience--it affects a majority of Americans directly or indirectly. There is a clear price, the jailer's reckoning, to be paid for this. As Smith shows, it is a society with declining levels of civic cohesion, reduced economic prospects, and less political engagement. Mass incarceration turns out to be something of a hidden bomb, a social explosion that inflicts enormous civic collateral damage on the entire country, and we must all do something about it.

The woman kept yelling at the crowd that these people were God's servants and they will tell them how to be saved. Annoyed beyond the point of tolerance, Paul commanded the evil spirit to come out of the woman. The slave woman's owners were not pleased. They beat Paul and took him and Silas to court where they were beaten yet again and thrown deep into prison. Around midnight as Paul and Silas were singing psalms to God, an earthquake shook the prison, opening the gates of all the prisoners.

Brian and Lee talk with political scientist Kevin B. Smith about his new book “The Jailer's Reckoning.” Find out why mass incarceration damages America. A show full of who knows […] The post The Brian and Lee Show: Interview with Kevin B. Smith appeared first on WWDB-AM.

Paul was being arrested for preaching the gospel and he was giving a plea to the crowd as he walked up the steps. Then he has to go before Felix and others to plead his case and they wanted to send him back to Jerusalem to have his trial. He refused because he knew there were Jews waiting to ambush him and kill him so, in a quick outburst, Paul appeals to Caesar because he knew it would keep him alive. But prior to going on this trip, Paul was warned by Agabus the prophet that if he went, he would die. Paul chose to go anyway, but God continued to use Paul, even while he was in jail awaiting his opportunity before Caesar. Every jailer, every person in the Praetorium heard the gospel because Paul, in his confinement, told them all about Jesus. The cool thing is, he converted some to Jesus! God can use us, even when we do things quickly, hurriedly, and our crazy decisions!

Spiritually mature Christians adjust their attitude and mindset onward; they have a forward looking mindset. We are to follow Paul's and other mature Christian's example of making spiritual things a priority in their lives by developing an upward perspective.

Paul leaves Thessalonica after only 3 weeks and into that vacuum of leadership comes accusations leveled against him. He uses chapter 2 to defend how he ministers and gives us a brilliant path to follow.
