Preparing for Thanksgiving

From our reading today:
Acts 13:5 they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues
Acts 13:15 After the reading from the Law and the Prophets
Acts 13:33 As it is written in the second Psalm
Acts 13:44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
Acts 13:48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord
Acts 14:25 and when they had preached the word in Perga

The central focus of the early church was to get people back to the WORD. The proclamation of the WORD was first and foremost in the strategy of the disciples.

Use your Thanksgiving celebrations to bring up the WORD. Ask your families if you can read a scripture passage before the meal. Psalm 100 and Deuteronomy 8 are fantastic passages to read. Then ask if anyone would be interested in reading through the Bible with you in 2010. Tell them about how God has changed your life through our journey.

I will be praying for our whole team as we have this unique opportunity to share the good news with family and friends over the next few days.

Happy Thanksgiving
