Becky Isaac is doing a give-away of a very nice Bible full of illustrations and photos of sites of Biblical importance. She reviews books and Bibles for a living and asked me to tell you all about it so I am posting the link here: http://bookreadingtic.com//csb-holy-land-illustrated-bibl/

New Prayer Request: Jim's brother, Dale, passed away last night due to liver failure. Please keep Jim, Betty, and all their family in your prayers.

Wednesday Class: 11/18/2020 Acts 7 If you remember the last chapter, the charges leveled against Stephen are that he is speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God and that he is speaking against the temple and the law. The high priest asks Stephen: Are these charges true? And then Stephen begins his speech. Why do you think Stephen responds this way? Is he trying to defend himself?... Are there any running themes you can see in Stephen’s speech? Why do you think Stephen includes what he does in this recap of Israel’s history, starting from Abraham? Verses 51-53 would seem to say a lot about what Stephen’s purpose is in his retelling of their history. How do you think his speech makes this point? Why do you think his speech enrages them so much? What do you think Stephen’s martyrdom shows us about the nature of evangelism? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieQAPUqARM4
