And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One.
– Acts 7:52
We continue this Sunday with our sermon series, “FROM JOY, FOR JOY / GOSPEL MISSION,” a ten-month study in the book of Acts. We invite you to prepare for this upcoming Sunday’s service by using this excerpt of our November 27th bulletin below. We encourage you to use the topic, passage, liturgy, and songs for prayer and reflection.
Preaching Passage for this Sunday: Acts 7:52
Supplementary New Testament Reading: Luke 24:13-27
Song to practice: “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”
Reflect:
A prison cell, in which one waits, hopes… and is completely dependent on the fact that the door of freedom has to be opened from the outside, is not a bad picture of Advent.
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer
