What a wonderful day we had last Sunday! Just about everyone was back, even Clarke and Shelly. Let’s keep it up and bring in some more!
Priscilla said Kimi came through her surgery well. Bobbi went into the hospital on Sunday night unresponsive. I did not have the means to write everything down as i was told, but I understand she has pneumonia. Leann said she woke up today and seems to be improving. Keep her in prayer.
This Sunday, we’ll be in Acts 19:11-20. This is an account of some of the things that happened while Paul was in the city of Ephesus. I believe that Luke, who wrote the book of Acts, put these things together the way he did so that we would see the connection between them. On one hand we have the power of God on display through the miracles being done through Paul. On the other we have an illustration of what can happen when we try to appropriate that power without the relationship that gives us the right to call upon it. The end result is that the Ephesian believers turned from their evil practices and burned their spell books in an open bonfire. There are principles here that we can apply to our own lives today. Come, let’s explore them together.
Love y’all!
