Text :
Acts 16: 11-15
11From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the
next day on to Neapolis. 12From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman
colony and the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed
there several days. 13On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the
river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began
to speak to the women who had gathered there. 14One of those listening was
a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira,
who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul's
message. 15When she and the members of her household were baptized, she
invited us to her home. "If you consider me a believer in the Lord," she
said, "come and stay at my house." And she persuaded us.

God's
love and attention for us is without end, without bound, without limits.
Why should our personal worship encompass only 1 hour on Sunday?
God invites us to a 24/7 relationship. Here's your opportunity to
continue to explore the way God's word connects with this week's worship
theme. We invite you to spend some time each day discovering God's
word...

24/7 intro
In Ephesians 2:19-22 , Paul writes "you are no longer foreigners and aliens,
but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, built
on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as
the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and
rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being
built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit. "
During the coming weeks you are invited to dig into God's story of the early
church, as we explore those people who became the foundation of the
household of God. We'll read through the book of Acts, and then the Gospel
of Mark as we meet these early apostles and prophets. Stop by
