So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.
Lots of activities this week and coming up.
Great music from Glory Way Quartet to lunch at Country Grub to the first choir practice!
More than one story of Resurrection found in Mark: The resurrection of Jesus AND the resurrection of Peter’s faith!
A very busy week ahead at Fox Street!
On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go to prepare the Passover meal for you?”
From Pancake Breakfast to new choir practice to youth lock-in – a very busy time at Fox Street Church of God!
While the disciples were spending time arguing on a High and Sacred Holiday, this woman, with a heart to understand not only who Jesus is, but also understood that He soon would be dead, performs something that is both deemed High and Sacred. Her anointing Jesus commends and tells the men to tell everybody about what she did.
Don’t forget Breakfast by Donation next Sunday and much more on the calendar coming up soon!
Last week, Jesus foretold the fall of the biggest idol standing in Jerusalem, the Temple. He spoke of it being torn down, not one stone would remain on top of each other. And today the Western Wall, also called the Wailing Wall, still stands; this was a support wall for the Temple Mount. Indeed, every stone the constructed the Temple was torn down above.
