Priorities

 Acts 20:13-16

Paul, like all of us, had a fixed number of hours in his days so he had to choose how to spend them.  Interesting enough, he chose to walk instead of taking a boat.  But then he chose to not go to Ephesus but asked the leaders in Ephesus to come to him...all in an attempt to celebrate the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem.

Lord Jesus, help us to slow down and walk when we need to spend more time with You, and help us to ask others to meet us when we don't have time to go to them.  Guide us and direct us so we too can celebrate the wonders of Your Holy Spirit.  Amen

The team to wait

What do our teams look like as we wait on the Holy Spirit? × Twitter Facebook Email

The Holy Spirit comes

  Act 2:1-4 Jesus said He had to leave in order for the Holy Spirit to come.  I have a theory that while Jesus walked the earth He had the Holy Spirit all to Himself but on the day of Pentecost (as described here) the Spirit was released on all the disciples that were gathered together.  It was a spectacular event with wind and what looked to be tongues of fire and what made it unique is they could speak in other languages. Lord Jesus, please help us to communicate with those that speak other languages.  I know You separated us by our languages because we were trying to be like god but at Pentecost You united us again.  Help us to remember You are God and we are just Your servants so You can use us to increase Your Kingdom.  Amen
