Today Helen Phelps and I tag-teamed our elder bible study. She had already started and then invited me to join in when I arrived. I read from Acts 9:1-9 and invited all of the elders to listen to what word or phrase stood out to them. After I read the passage I asked for everyone to share. We heard words like, “get up,” and “persecute.” I read the passage again and then asked everyone to consider what God might be telling us through the words that came out the most strongly. Then we had a discussion about what God was telling us. We prayed together and then we sang a few hymns. Our final hymn was, “I’ll Be List’ning.”
Blessings,
