Many churches throughout the world use a Bible reading schedule called a "lectionary." It's just a fancy word meaning "selected readings." Posts like this reflect on the readings for an upcoming Sunday or other Church holiday, as found in the historic one-year lectionary.
In Acts 13:13-26, the leaders of a synagogue, recognizing Paul as a guest who was an esteemed teacher, asked him if he had any exhortation for the people. So far, it was more or less standard procedure for worship in the synagogue. That all changed rather quickly.
Paul promptly reminded all the people gathered of the one most important element of their faith. God is able to rescue people who have fallen into bondage. This is the Lord's desire. Paul gave four examples, and through these, he brought the people to know that salvation through faith in Jesus is just like being rescued from captivity in Egypt.
Israel, in bondage in Egypt, was rescued through Moses. This event would immediately remind the attendees at the synagogue of the Pssover and the journey through the Red Sea. It was all about someone (a lamb) dying for them so they could be released and be brought out of death and into life. Paul then fast forwarded to Saul, who was used by God to rescue them from sin and bondage. However, Saul, the earthly king, was replaced by David, the godly one. God's promise to David was that a king would be on his throne forever. This was fulfilled in Jesus. He is the one ruling in the name of God, on the throne of David, and who is able to die in our place and rescue us from bondage.
Salvation is in Jesus, the one who gave himself as a substitute for our sin, dying so we would live. This is the Gospel. Paul went there right away. Jesus, the deliverer, was right there for the people.
