FURTHER UP & FURTHER IN

 

Further Up & Further In is an opportunity to immerse ourselves in God’s Word as we prepare our hearts and minds for this Sunday’s message. In addition to our website, we invite you to visit us on Instagram, where we share more about how God is moving and speaking to our church family.

Acts 8:1-8 | Joy

1. Even before the Apostle Paul embarked on his first missionary journey, how did God use him to begin fulfilling the Great Commission (Acts 1:8)? Acts 8:4

2. The Samaritans (despised as half-breeds by Jews after assimilating with Assyrians) became doubly hated by the Hebrews for believing in Jesus. How, therefore, do you explain the "great joy in the city"? Nehemiah 8:10; Romans 15:13

3. Worldly happiness depends on outside influences, while the joy of the Lord comes from an inward reality. Take time each morning this week to invite Jesus to rule and reign in your heart, thanking Him for His abiding presence through all the proverbial "chances and changes" of life.

See you Sunday!
