Acts 7:59-8:40
Reflect
On this First Sunday of Advent, we will light the “love” candle and focus on a passage in Acts where God’s love breaks through the walls of the early Christian church and extends to enemies, to Samaritans (those who were objects of prejudice) and to Gentiles (those overlooked as outside God’s plan).
Apply
- How might God be inviting you to share His love this Christmas beyond your comfortable relational walls?
- After listening to this morning’s message, how do you believe God is asking you to respond?
- Ask God to work in the hearts of all who will be attending our services today.
Pastor Lyle
