Michael read us thru Acts 7 tonight and spoke how the many things in the History of the Hebrews lined up with the happenings in our Lives...our Growth in Christ and the Faith.
The apostles received the Holy Spirit and were establishing the church with a message they totally believed in.  
They were not divided when it came to the Scripture....but were divided in the direction of their callings.  
Like them, each of us are sent to different kinds of people.
We are to live our lives in a state of preparedness...as Jesus can come back at any time.
Be with those who are like-minded in your beliefs...you are where you are for a reason.  What you labor for is something you will uphold.  Purpose cancels fear.
Every time a proud man makes a declaration, the opposite takes place...God oposes the proud.

11 14 2022  The Return Of The Apostles - Acts 7 - Reflections On Our Own Lives

 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.  Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.  For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.  But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.  For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,  who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.
1 Thessalonians 5:5-10

If Your Absence Doesn't
Bother Them
Your Presence Never Mattered
