Caring for Widows

July 9, 2023 PM, 1 Timothy 5:9-16.In 1 Timothy 5:3-16, Paul addresses the church's responsibility to honor true widows by caring for their needs. Paul enumerates on the qualities that characterize a true widow. A true widow is all alone, over the age of sixty, faithful in marriage, godly in conduct, full of good works.

Israel Moves to Egypt

July 2, 2023 AM, Genesis 46:1-47:31.Our Scripture reading was Acts 23:1-35
We may tend to focus on Joseph in chapters 37-50, but God does something strange but wonderful for the entire clan of Joseph. It is strange that they would end up in Egypt. But wonderful that God
saved them using the benevolence of a powerful nation nearby. Sometimes God will take you too on a path you did not anticipate. He may direct you on a path or rescue you by a way you would never expect. And God uses all kinds of people to bless His children, even unbelieving ones like Pharaoh.
