Lucille and I
have been re-reading Acts in our morning prayers and noticing that the Holy
Spirit is constantly guiding the early church leaders. The Readings teach us
that church communities glorify God when they are united and energized by the
spiritual gifts of love, joy and peace. As we will see these communities are by
definition exclusive, Biblically based, Christ-centred and Holy Spirit led.
1. “When he (Judas) was gone” (John
13.31)
So easily we slip over apparently unimportant words. Big
mistake. Every word in the Bible is there for a reason.
