“War, What Is It Good For. . . More Than You Think”

Luke 9:51-10:24
There is no one who wants peace more than a military person. After all, it’s his or her life that is on the line here. We honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and
we learn from their example and training. We sing about being Christian soldiers and how like a mighty army moves the church of God. God’s church did move just like that in this text and the results were phenomenal. But the bar for training was set pretty high.

“Your Sons and Daughters Will”

Acts 2:14-21

Today we take a break from Luke and visit the story of Pentecost, the birthday of the Church. This is party time! Birthday party. Graduation party. Celebrate good times.
Honor our past (Pentecost). Honor our graduates and launch them properly into life.

and claiming that his true mother and brothers were someone else? Or did he?
