Memorial Day Weekend — the beginning of summer activities!
For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
Coming up: Carry-in dinner, teacher appreciation, recognition of graduates, summer camp and camp meeting!
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
Happy Mothers Day!
A very busy week at Fox Street Church of God.
Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”
Lots of activities coming up.
There is a little bit of comedy in these passages of Scripture in my opinion. Repeatedly, Jesus has asked them to go back and stay in Jerusalem the entire time between his resurrection and ascension. To be more correct, he told them to stay in Jerusalem before he was arrested and crucified. Now, we are at the ascension of Jesus in the land of Galilee! However, Jesus himself was leading them back.
Stevens Family Concert Sunday night; National Day of Prayer activities on Thursday and lots more.
Now, I don’t mean to single Peter out, but I must use him and his actions as an example to learn from because there are definite changes in the maturation of Peter as he matures, especially after receiving the Holy Spirit.
