Tea

Have some tea.

How are you today?

It's Simple

...will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord? 

Acts 13:10

Who do we come from?

Acts 10:45 (ERV)

The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the Holy Spirit had been poured out as a gift also to people who were not Jews.

Acts 11:18 (ESV)

When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, "Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.”

from Acts 11:26 (ESV)

...And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.

Really?

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God.Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:6-7

Your hair is numbered? 

How strange.

Why would anyone number hair?

Maybe there is a reason for that, but I think the meaning is simply that you matter to God. If a small detail like hair matters, certainly the events of your day are important to Him as well. Your feelings, worries and concerns, all of your tomorrows. Everything.

Come to the Table

But Why?

There is a God. 
He created you on purpose.
You should talk to Him about it.

Resurrection

Redemption

The Freedom to Live

Restoration

Your chains are broken, see them there on the floor?

I didn't know He was coming for me. 

But He was.

I didn't know I was blind until I could see.

I thought I was right about everything. 

I was sure of it. 

I was wrong. What a relief.

Welcome to Sunday

Welcome to Life

You can never have a plan that is better than God's.

Why do you look for the living among the dead?

Never

Be strong and courageous. 

Do not be afraid or terrified 

because of them, 

for the Lord your God 

goes with you; 

he will never leave you 

nor forsake you.

Deuteronomy 31:6

Not a Secret

The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. 

Jesus answered him, 

“I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret. Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.” 

John 18:19-21

John 17:15

I do not ask that you take them out 

of the world, but that you 

keep them from the evil one.

Jesus and Passover

Luke 22:7-16

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

“Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.

He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 

He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”

They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, 

“I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”

Ain't No Grave
