Weekly Bible teaching and encouragement from Pastor Stephen Saxton at Islands Christian Church in Savannah, GA, helping people follow Jesus and find real hope. Each episode shares the truth of God’s Word in a way that’s clear, hopeful, and rooted in Scripture, inviting listeners to grow in faith, experience God’s peace, and connect more deeply with Him and others.
Why do Christians take Communion? What does Communion have to do with Passover? And is it more than simply remembering what Jesus did?
In this first message of our Given for You series, we trace the story of Communion back to the Passover and discover how Jesus takes this ancient story of rescue and centers it on Himself. His body was given for you. His blood was poured out for you. Every time we come to the table, we are invited to remember and receive the good news of His rescue again.
If you’ve wondered what Communion really means, why Christians take Communion, why Jesus is called the Lamb of God, or how Passover points to Jesus, this message will help you see the Lord’s Supper in a deeper way.

Do I Have to Be Baptized to Be Saved?
Do I have to be baptized to be saved?
It’s a question Christians have wrestled with for a long time, and in the final message of our Raised with Christ series, Stephen Saxton addresses it directly.
Looking at Acts 2 and the response of the earliest believers to the gospel, we explore the relationship between faith, repentance, and baptism and why the New Testament holds them so closely together.
Maybe the better question isn’t simply, “Do I have to be baptized?” but “If baptism is a gift from God, why would I reject it?”
Listen as we take one final look at the gift of baptism and what it means to respond to Jesus as Lord.

The Gift of Baptism
What if baptism is not something we do for God, but a gift God has given to us?
In the first message of our Raised with Christ series, Stephen Saxton looks at Romans 6 and invites us to slow down and consider the way the New Testament talks about baptism. What does it mean to be baptized into Christ, to be joined with him in his death, and to be raised with him to new life?
Whether you were baptized years ago, are considering baptism now, or simply have questions about what it means, this message invites you to take a fresh look at the gift of baptism.
