Read Philemon 1:1-25 No longer as a slave but more than a slave-a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

The apostle Paul addresses the case of a runaway slave who became a believer of Christ and was returning to his Master, Philemon. In Acts of the Apostles, E. G. White speaks of the Apostle Paul’s time in Rome and interactions with Onesimus:…

BITTER WATER SWEET

BITTER WATER SWEET Read Exodus 15:22-27 So he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. Exodus 15:25 (NKJV)  This week’s children’s lesson discussed the Israelites’ first experiences in the desert after their deliverance. Three days after God parted the Red Sea and saved them from the Egyptian Army, they were unhappy with Moses. They complained about his leadership, forgetting God was leading Moses and them (Exodus 13:21-22). Why would God lead the people to an undrinkable and bitter water source? Wasn’t Moses familiar…

FEED THE HUNGRY

FEED THE HUNGRY Read John 6:1-15 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. John 6:11 (NKJV) The feeding of the five thousand is one of the greatest miracles ever performed by Jesus. Each of the four gospels tells of this account when over 5000 men, not including women and children, spent their day listening to Jesus.
