God’s glory and presence

Hard Times Paul’s charge for his last good bye: Paul’s charge for his last good bye:

“I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God. Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers to care for the church of God which he obtained with his own blood.” Paul’s charge for his last good bye:

“So work hard, help the weak. Remember said it is more blessed to give than to receive” Kneeling in prayer and with tears and sorrow Paul leaves Paul goes into Caesarea, the port 60 miles from Jerusalem Paul, Luke and others stay with Philip the evangelist Luke learns a lot of history on this trip Agabus prophesies Paul’s imprisonment The people want Paul to stop short of Jerusalem out of fear for personal safety “What are you doing, weeping and pounding my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the sake of the name of the Lord Jesus!” Points for God’s word Home A light to our path
