Weekly Update - 8/24

Thank you Patrick for the lesson on Sunday morning"You are a Letter" with the text taken from 2 Corinthians 3:1-6
  • Branches. I am the true vine, you are the “branches”. (John 15:5)
  • Salt. “You are the salt of the earth.” (Matt.5:13)
  • Lights, “You are the light of the world.”  (Matt.5:14)
  • Sheep “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27)
  • Epistles. (Read 2 Corinthins 3:1-6)
Characteristics of a letter:
1.  A letter is written to convey a message.
2.  A letter is written to be read.
Our life and our conversation ought to be an epistle to make known his praises.
